Pros

Plenty of technical knowledge to be picked up, some very smart people still avalable, good procedures, solid project management system

Cons

Limited career development if you are not Dutch or Brit, too much in your carrier depends on how good your line manager and HR focal point are, very slow and inflexible in decision making, lack of skilled and experienced managers who think of their own interests only after team and companies interests are met.

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.
