Pros

Large range of opportunities due to the scale of the company. Varied roles and a good internal job posting and aplication system. Olympic swimming pool in the basement,

Cons

Sometimes too big a company. Felt a little impersonal. A lot of stigma attached to the company and high regard held to those who had operated in difficult/unpopular/controversial country assignments. A lot of lip service paid to 'going green' but few significant moves within the business.

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.
