Pros

Good exposure to the industry.

Cons

Salary is lower than industry. Experience can vary depending on your manager (manager can change every 2 years). Arrogance in the belief of some that they are the best. Some immature people in managerial roles.

Pros

Very challenging projects, incredibly smart and talented co-workers, only recruit the best. Can be very rewarding if you have the support of your management and you're able to succeed. Extreme focus on safety.

Cons

Work:Life ratio very difficult especially if you have children. Lots of "red tape" to traverse at times. Some managers are EXTREMELY difficult to work for, and develop very large egoes.
