Pros

Salary is on par with Oil & Gas industry Good for grads/ first job for the brand name.

Cons

- Big and mini reorg every other year: most people in there with long tenure are just waiting for a nice package (above mkt norms) - Tend to select those younger talent versus those with more experience. Ageism. Ask to see the avg age of the ppl leaving during Reshape versus those they selected. - They like their grads than experience hires. Esp those that fits their mould - Hire and fire quickly - Claim "show care" but very unauthentic: and wonders why their employer of choice score is lower than the other major oil. - Looks glam outside, good reputation but v political inside. - not good for experience hire, try only if u are jobless anyway

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.
