Pros

Lots of opportunities to explore different career paths, live and work abroad and 'choose your own adventure'. Michelin invests A LOT in training employees; encourages and enables employees to develop new competencies and build on existing skills. Great corporate culture and strategic vision. R&D is very important; Michelin puts a lot of resources toward the development of all of their products and employees feel confident and proud of all products that are offered to consumers. Interesting, talented and diverse workforce including great mix of employees working in NA from other countries.

Cons

There can be a lot of red tape and unwieldy processes to navigate at times. Some parts of the organizations are very large and hierarchical (typical of European companies) and some departments are relatively flat. The large size and cautious nature of company can be slow and frustrating when trying to go to market with new offers, explore new business opportunities and try new marketing methods.

Pros

Good opportunity for career if you are mobile. Culture is fast changing with more emphasis on results and performance. If you like managing change, this is it.

Cons

Changing very fast and many projects in the pipeline. Intense focus on bottom line is driving a new set of culture within a family run business. Work life balance is non existence in certain functions.

Pros

1). Multicultural environment 2). A so called expensive training.... 3). Lot of technicalities to learn..

Cons

1). Over hype on the brand image of the company. 2). Over empowerment to the french managers which make some of them to miscuse their powers.Talented young minds can never come up in this company. 3). They really look for long term bonded people who will not ask any questions of about systems , who will relocate to abroad at any time immediately when they say , who will only follow michelin systems ( even some of them are worthless ) , who will accept for a long term bond failing which they will take back your 1 year salary. 4). A so called career management is pathetic.A guy or girl who specialise in one department for years will grow step by step for ex : trainee , executive , senior executive , asst manager , manager , senior manager , general manager and COO or CEO or Head.But here when you start growing they change your department in the name of career management and you have to start from the scrap.No way of reaching top position. 5).Their way of doing any work is like touching your nose with your hands across the neck.( We do normally touch straight ).
