Pros

it pays really well, lots of opportunity for global travel and career progression. on site gym is really good, they care about the health of their workers. subsidised lunches. they have a really good Christmas Party.

Cons

It pays so well people never leave and stay in jobs for ever. people get bored and cynical with regards to the company. They are big and having to deal with departments like HR can be very very very painful. you have to liev in some truely god awful places like texas and aberdeen, scotland. They are actually the better places, you could end up being shipped out to the middle east or east africa!

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.
