Pros

Benefits, vacation time, family leave, a pension. Generally very respectful of dissenting beliefs and opinions. Company’s heart is in the right place.

Cons

Very tolerant of incompetence. Way over staffed with tons of deadweight employees. Highly variable work experience based on what area/group you work. Too bloated with middle managers who are clueless and survive by spewing corporate jargon to impress their superiors

Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
