Pros

Great benefits and great (above industry standard) pay. Solid and competent personnel and great opportunities (at least before the oil crash occurred)

Cons

Heavily matrixed organization with rather slow decision making. Available cash is limited due to oil crash and BG merger - resulted in a drastic decline of projects and hence project management roles. The end of this challenging period is not in sight.

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.
