Pros

You will have a good deal in package (even some of detail will be kept unclear), good building and its location. Have a great strategy on paper but lack in implementation (or too slow) as typical of traditional manufacture company

Cons

When you are working for your own, it is easy. But to deal with other function is a nightmare. They are very typical of traditional manufacturing company that problem driven instead of anticipating problem. Soon will merge with Lafarge, and efficiency will be a heavy topic especially in people among high competition in the market with new and existing players. No longer attractive related to the vision

Pros

Lots of opportunities for advancement as a large international company. Pay and vacation time are good. Strong focus on building a safer culture. You can get help and support in career development. Most people enjoy working for Lafarge. Good work life balance.

Cons

There is bureaucracy that is typical in many large companies that can be frustrating at times. On the whole the company is slow to make changes as risk adverse. Leadership and management over the last few years has been lacking with repeated restructuring. Health benefits use to be above average now they are below average.
