Environment is very collaborative and friendly It is a great place to learn

If you are willing to manage high pressure and integrate personal life with the job you will be very succesfull; could be exhausting for most of the people and generate burnout. Very political organization

Pros

Great opportunities to learn new skills..if you show enthusiasm, play by the rules and willing to work exhaustive hours and provide the company with real dollar returns, you will be rewarded with even more opportunities to try new skills, more work, higher expectations. How much energy do you have? You will require all of it to maintain your job for an entire career. Co-workers were great, a lot of collaboration across departments. High emphasis on safety

Cons

They want all of your life. Don't even think about work life balance. Back in the day, benefits were much better and worth sticking it out but there's no guarantee of that happening. Restructurings happen every 3 - 5 yrs. The new 'pension' plan adopted in 2008 accrues imaginary points (not dollars) that will be valued... later. Projects were often fast tracked to the point of failure.
