Pros

Culture is amazing, probably the best I’ve seen in terms of culture and really caring for employees.

Cons

Very slow moving to get things done and lots of politics to get promoted. It’s about who you know and network with and not about performance. They favour their internal graduates and external hires are not appreciated.

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.
