Great Opportunity, but with a Lack of Job Security

Process engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent salary; great experience an a wide variety of projects; always opportunities for learning new things; strong emphasis on safety.

Cons

Most significantly is a lack of job security. It is a company in a very cyclical industry, so a loss of a project could mean that you are on "company convenience leave" at home without pay.

Worldwide company with diverse areas of specialty

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to a wide range of projects is possible when you are willing to travel and relocate. There are multiple opportunities to network with many experts in your field as colleagues. Opportunities for training while working on large projects. Work Schedule allows a half-day on Friday (most locations)

Cons

Business environment is very cyclical for certain industries. Risk of layoff if projects are slow coming in the door. Willingness to relocate is a requirement as one advances in the company.
