Pros

Some managers try to look out for their staff

Cons

Upper management is only interested in personal bonuses and will make directives that will help them rather than what's best for the company or staff. This flows down to middle management who do the same, etc., etc. They make all the diversity noises but will punish staff who are neurodiverse, suffer from depression or anxiety and they will put you through 'competence reviews' Constant budget cuts. bizarre outsourcing deals and steady corrosion of staff benefits over the years.

Pros

Real opportunities to grow into more technical roles (Control Center Operator → Systems Engineer paths exist and aren't just on paper). You get hands-on experience with industrial systems most people only read about — OSI PI, SCADA, OMS integrations, cloud telemetry — which is hard to get elsewhere. Management generally supports continued education and certifications.

Cons

Decisions move slowly. Getting tooling, software, or process changes approved often involves multiple layers, including approvals that flow up to the French parent company. Procurement and IT requests can take weeks for things that would take a day at a smaller company. Some legacy systems and processes haven't been modernized — you'll find yourself working around quirks instead of fixing them.
