Pros

Historically very fair in determining future career options and truly encouraging a work-life balance. Still does a lot of research in house and has fantastic capabilities and samples with which to work.

Cons

Group, European mindset leads to long decision making processes and minimal ownership or accountability, but that's finally shifting.

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.

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.
