Pros

Diverse and varied work load A lot of autonomy in the role Exciting time to be at the Company as it grows, diversifies and sinks billions into renewables and new energy ventures to move away from oil Strong focus on Safety Flexible work arrangements and good vacation/family leave policy

Cons

Still don't pay as well as their competitors Large Company with all the associated bureaucracy Still too Paris-centric with French nationals in most key positions Productivity issues in some departments with a certain amount of deadwood Lack of transparency with job opportunities although efforts being made to correct this. Quality of managers varies, some have been in position too long and are focused on retiring. Constantly being asked to do more for less

Pros

-Hybrid work option and free parking.

Cons

As a contractor, the expectations were extremely high while the benefits, recognition, and job security were significantly lower compared to full-time employees. Contractors were often expected to handle multiple responsibilities due to constant pressure from upper management to reduce headcount, creating a stressful and draining work environment. Despite proving your value through consistent performance over years, contractors still seemed overlooked for growth opportunities. In some cases, employees with only a few months of tenure were promoted into full-time roles, while experienced contractors were passed over. There was also a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times the culture did not feel fully inclusive or supportive. Compensation was decent, but overall work-life balance, contractor treatment, and career progression opportunities need major improvement
