European leader in energy Training opportunities Not much work pressure Flexible and/or light work schedule possible

Cons

Low pay Low raises The people who work the most are not those who get raises, someone who doesn't work can get a raise and not you if he was not raised recently Poor management Horrible IT solutions, tons of different programs who do not communicate with each other Many uninteresting, repetitive tasks No help from HR to find new career opportunities in the group More managers than employees

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.
