Pros

Great benefits including bonus, stock purchase, employee clubs and network groups... with top of the totem pole feels. This company really cares about SAFETY as well as its employees. Employees are rather well taken care of and consist of a diverse group as its operations are all over the world.

Cons

Extreme glass ceiling syndrome, no way will you become the next big wig unless you are Dutch gentlemen. Oil industry is hit particularly hard over the last few years, and it shows. Most coworkers work in constant fear of losing their jobs.

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.
