Pros

Good pay and benefits for graduate role out of college Most coworkers are high performers and willing to help teach new hires Large company allows flexibility with movement across and up to different roles, giving employees the freedom to learn different skills

Cons

New daily tasks involving maintaining oil production are frequent and urgent but you are still above all expected to make time for your own discipline development projects (Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, etc.). This can be difficult to get around to with the workload. New work cannot be completed before crossing over to opposite every 2 weeks, so backlog inevitably piles up especially as engineers cycle out of the role every year or so.

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.
