Pros

work/life balance; salary; good package (not in my case)

Cons

I was not satisfied with the management - not using capabilities of people, and not so open; low level of support, especially HR & IT; slow organisation; management decisions are sometimes confusing and not always clear.

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.
