Pros

You get exposure to various projects and clients, often starting in the FEED phase and continuing into detailed design -- may get some exposure to the construction phase depending on where the project is located. Benefits are decent, work-life balance is usually decent

Cons

It may be different in other locations (or even in other disciplines within the Western Operations location), but the process department is run pretty poorly, with quite a bit of favoritism shown. Management will never give a straight answer to anything (if/when new jobs are coming in) -- some good people have been laid off recently, with some poor engineers kept on (either on overhead or transferred to different groups). Some of these cuts have been very confusing, and I suspect it will continue. Some of the better engineers are fed up with the way things are being handled, and there seems to be some sort of mass exodus going on at the moment (at least five people within the process department have left or have already put in notice in the past month, with many others currently looking).

Pros

Collegiate, collaborative work environment with clear thinkers and people who get things done. At last have senior management ask for an opinion and how I would go about changing things, then give the tools and support to do it. It's not all beer and skittles and for those who call challenges "opportunities" you will find plenty of headroom to develop and grow your career.

Cons

It's a big business where it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking things should be laid out on a silver platter, like it is in other large corporates where smart people are able to progress without having to think. People who expect to solely let someone else drive their career development may find their manager is busy winning projects for them to work on.
