Pros

smart capable employees that are a pleasure to work with really strong safety culture very good technical capability good benefits and perks

Cons

the rating process is a black box hardly any influence as to what your next job can be salary treatments are not fair and sub par no 9-80s not capable of making timely quick decisions, middle management afraid to take ownership and make decisions very slow to move and react as a company frustrating for someone who like to get things done rather than sit around and talk about it seems to be alot of wasted effort on processes there are groups dedicated to maintaing process and all they know is thier process and they know nothing about the real "work" so processes are not applied in a "fit-for-purpose" way

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
