Pros

Can be at your own comfort level - If you like to push the boundaries, you are welcome but no pressure or merit reward to be expected to do so.

Cons

Have to wait or reapply to new position to get career growth ( not merit based once inside with first job) - can feel stuck in lower salary grades unless you initially got in to the right job grade match of your experience.

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.
