Pros

It's a large company, so there are good and bad managers. It really depends on who you get. It's a good ol' boys club. If you play golf with the boss, you get a raise! There's a lack of communication and collaboration between teams so expect each team to focus on building their own empire - however, the gross ineptitude of managers to get off their high horses can lead to highly entertaining . Managers with poor management skills aren't given training on budgeting, time-management and employee leadership skills so employee turnover is frequent and employee satisfaction is low.

Cons

Good benefits. Good people. Nice office location.

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.
