Pros

- good salary package and employee benefits - flexi hours - work-life balance

Cons

- low chance of advancement, usually lateral movements - they have this 'people talent program' and those in the program get promoted quickly (e.g. 2-3 years) to senior management level even if they were newly grads. I think this is a bit unfair specially to those talented inviduals who have been with the company for quite sometime.

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.
