Pros

Some great opportunities to work on big projects. Lots of mentors. Flexible Benefits package

Cons

Pressure to follow BPs desired career path rather than your own career path. Need to quit to get an industry reflective pay rise. Need to threaten to quit to get posting on another project. Swing work, sudden long hours with pressing deadlines, then nothing for a couple of weeks.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
