Pros

The people working there are lovely, really friendly and good to work with.

Cons

Management have no idea what they're doing, will order a project one minute and then scrap it the next. Lay off half the company and then rehire them a year later, all while paying HR tonnes to do it. They never listen to issues or complaints and have no respect for the majority of the company. If there were actually some leadership from up top then it might be a good place to work.

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.
