Pros

- Opportunity to work on complex subsea systems with global clients like Shell, BP, and Equinor - Strong focus on engineering standards (API, ISO) and structured documentation - Collaborative design reviews with cross-functional teams across geographies - Access to advanced CAD tools and PLM systems (Teamcenter, Windchill) - Exposure to full product lifecycle—from concept to manufacturing handover

Cons

- Limited visibility into project management or upstream decision-making for design engineers - Career growth can feel siloed unless actively pursued across functions or geographies - Offshore-client timelines often override internal innovation cycles - Knowledge sharing across product lines (e.g., manifold vs. tie-in systems) is minimal

Pros

-Competitive salary -Clear organizational structure -Deep talent base Depending on where you work, you’ll likely be surrounded by competent individuals with a lot of industry experience, and will always know your chain of command.

Cons

-Lacks agility -Growing pains -Upper mgmt paralyzed by indecision -False promises Upper management will call you into a town hall meeting to tell you anything you’ll believe to get you to stick around in time for layoffs. They said they’d keep on older employees; they were the first to go. They said there wouldn’t be a hiring freeze; we were frozen and understaffed for six months. Your direct managers usually have your best interest in mind but are also subject to the whims of those in glass towers far above and away.
