Pros

I cannot say a good thing about this company.

Cons

Barely any legal support on most of the contracts with suppliers, no consistency across teams and processes. Staff culture is abysmal, lots of finger pointing and bullying tactics. Took months before I was given my starter equipment. Business continues to email my personal address with confidential meetings despite me telling them to stop. My strong opinion is that any experienced professional who joins this business will be shocked at how basic the procurement processes are and how little support they are given to try and fix it.

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.
