Pros

The best thing is only the good coworkers in the trenches with you.

Cons

Brookfield Infrastructure is cutting jobs. Forcing many into retirement. The company will become bare bones, sustainability in their approach seems highly unlikely. They are cutting projects and upkeep on the system - gambling with supply and safety of the public. By the time the fallout of running to failure and axing important jobs becomes visible, the damage will already have been done. Brookfield plans a short term ownership, so what is that to them? What was once a great company, now falls to greed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, flexibility, people (individual contributors and low-level managers).

Cons

The culture has been upended since the current CEO joined the company. There has been a complete abandonment of the field by the CLT. They only care about growth and are stretching an already maxed out field organization. As a result, safety incidents were at a record high in 2024. The gap between corporate and field has grown exponentially. What was once a very employee-centric company has now become robotic and impersonal. Intrinsically motivated individuals - proceed with caution.
