Pros
I worked on several different sites, and each one was very different, so it is difficult to generalise about the company as a whole but: - I worked on some very interesting projects - Most of the teams I worked with were great - Focus on health and safety - Opportunities to move to other locations and countries (although this happens less than it did in the past)
Kontras
- Continual pressure to do more with less, lack of much needed investment in some areas - A lot of short-sighted management decisions with little consideration of the impact on employees - A boys club culture in some sectors - Can be difficult to advance your career according to your own interests (management tend to decide what your future will be) - Many managers are technical types with poor people skills - Managers spends so much time in meetings they have little time to actually manage their teams
