Pros

Decent pay for work life balance

Cons

Work life balance getting worse after each reorg and other competitors have exceeded our pay rates. Incompetent leadership that doesn’t understand how our business is delivered. Too many idea people and not enough people focused on problem solving. Were great at finding problems that don’t exist, and then solving them ourselves.

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. 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.
