Pros

Great friendly people Good vibes

Cons

It's clear the people in the tech leadership for retail do not know a thing about software development. Brought in agile coaches when we were already doing it fine, now its worse Telling us how to do our jobs but no have no idea how to do it After all the transformations of agiles and our ways of working we're now visibily less productive and bogged down in process and red tape. The opposite of what agile is supposed to do

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.
