Pros

Great culture Quite a few managers listen to their staff Friendly and down to earth executives Great occ health Laid back when you work hard free tea, coffee, breakfast Weekly Friday meeting to update everyone in the business on wins and losses

Cons

A lot of egos in manager roles causing problems with processes Reactive at lower level and not proactive A lot of time spent on automating which doesn’t always make peoples jobs easier Career opportunities are based on a point system on applications/interviews rather than evidence on proven experience (although I believe this is being improved)

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.
