Pros

Good Work Life Balance .

Cons

Hired for roles that look fancy, but actual on job work is very average. Not allowed to grow, irrespective of available opportunities. As managers deny approval even if there is a better opportunity. Unethical - Salary package looks decent on the outside. But it is filled with bonuses and other things. So, in hand salary at the end of the day is less. Made to sign contract for a few years (this happens few days before joining). No one takes responsibility for the unethical practices followed.

Pros

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.
