Pros

Great development opportunities in terms of training and on the job experience. Excellent place to start a career and great work life balance.

Cons

Relatively slow organisation, but depends on business line you are in. Traditional thinking in terms of skills development, i.e. very much focussed on detailed industry skill development, generalism has become less appreciated. Young professionals are not really supported in by means of trainee programs, job progression or otherwise managed exposure.

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.
