Pros

Excellent work-life balance and non-cash benefits. Very supportive and inclusive environment and ample opportunities to develop and learn.

Cons

Complex and highly bureaucratic, as a result some work is more oriented towards internal politics than actual value delivery. Reduced focus on energy transition and general feeling that the company doesn't believe in its own future. Performance evaluation is also not very effective and doesn't you'll reward performance, at least for younger employees.

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
