Not so good - Anonymous employee Legrand Employee Review

There’s a noticeable divide between expatriates and local employees, with locals often treated like labor rather than equal contributors, which has been demotivating. One of the major issues is the inconsistent instructions from HQ, regional, and local teams. This causes confusion and inefficiency, as different teams give conflicting directions, making it hard to execute tasks properly. The work environment isn’t ideal either – it’s a manufacturing setting, so it’s dusty, and the roads are bumpy, which creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. Additionally, the company is very bureaucratic. There are endless reports that need to be submitted, and while that’s frustrating on its own, the real issue comes during the winter when the French team takes long holidays. During this time, it’s almost impossible to get any assistance, which leaves employees struggling to get their work done. Overall, I’ve been disappointed with the company culture and work environment. There’s a lot of room for improvement, especially in terms of communication and support for local employees.
