Pros

Pretty good benefits. Flexible working. Some great people to work with.

Cons

Team dynamic is very mixed, and often siloed. With the right manager and team it will be great, but can also be rubbish with the wrong ones. Very slow moving too - decisions can take forever. Progression can be limited. Some staff have drunk the kool-aid. Future prospects depend on location.

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.
