Pros

Mostly flexible work hours depending on your supervisor. Decent pay. Working with talented engineers and experienced personnel.

Cons

Middle management (especially supply chain) - if you bring people from a small EPCs and place them in leadership roles they will bring all the negative culture (micromanagement , infighting etc.) with them. No long term career growth plan.
