Pros

Work life balance, unlimited sick leave

Cons

Bad job security, Favoratism( you can land into any role if you have good networking which is nothing but boot licking of your line manager. I have seen some folks who are purely non technical has got sr data engineer role whereas some good data engineers are struggling to get promotion even after 4 to 5 years. Poor hike from last 2 years. And everywhere cost cutting.

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.
