Pros

A large organization with opportunities to move/change for some staff members. There is a possibility to make a great career for those in the 'fast track' process. The company provides a nice cultural mix outside HQ (France) however this seems to be less relevant in coming months/year as per the company's strategy.

Cons

Unfortunately it is a company which doesn't promote the right people. Often great knowledge and young people leave the company. There are silo and very few chance to progress if you are not already in management. Tons of middle managers stay there for their package/conditions who they inherited from past conditions. There are a lot of marketing internally around the transformation plans, their 'management way' which is not reflected in the reality of the organisation. Young people with talent have 50% to get promoted and recognized. There are too many layers of management and a poor recognition of an international background.

Pros

The work can be challenging but also fulfilling at the same time and many opportunities and resources to learn. The pay and benefits are a little above average.

Cons

The culture has adversely changed where it used to be cooperative but now it is more cut-throat and many things are not communicated properly and an imbalance of responsibility and accountability which is causing conflict. There are many "exceptions".
