Pros

The field of energy is fascinating. Working with startups is exciting. Working with European colleagues was super rewarding. Most of my "field" colleagues were nice, with diverse and interesting personalities.

Cons

On the other hand there are very few possibilities of career development, the management is autocratic with a lot of intempestive firing. The top management does not accept the contradiction from the base and prefers "yes men" who are largely rewarded by rising up in the company. There is a lot of turnover except within the executive board, the place is undoubtedly far too pleasant to leave it.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to work with a variety of people. Work is interesting and often requires creative problem-solving. People are friendly and helpful. Lots of autonomy

Cons

Distributed & remote company means some silos, but not unreasonably so. Central does not understand and thus cannot support all the different business units making it difficult for non-standard work to get done. Clunky and restrictive procurement processes thwart agility and speed.
