Big Company, small location atmosphere ruined by politics

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Worldwide scope of an organization with great technical products and processes that can challenge technical people as well as good benefits overall.

Cons

Overall management handling of local employees is poor; continual changing of General Managers who always have to "make their mark" in order to move themselves up don't have a clue typically about the business unit creates a political atmosphere where most middle managers have to try to fit into the new manager's thinking to survive. The French obsession with head count, rather than investment dollars, creates a more haphazard work atmosphere as well.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great learning experience Work amongst best engineers Innovative environment High heath and Safety Standards Travel opportunities Exposure to Corporate Culture Job Security

Cons

MS and BS engineers treated like technicians instead of engineers. Non PhD engineers not welcomed at meetings, presentations etc. The career growth is also very different for both. Too much Red Tape and bureaucracy, as could be expected in a big company

Good place to start your career

Senior research engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large, diverse, talented group of scientists and engineers. Perhaps too inward looking when trying to find new approaches to solving problems. However, diversity aids talent and skill development of newly minted MS and PhD employees. Good cross fertilization of talent from different technical backgrounds. Could have been supported with improved business interactions

Cons

If you are not French and want a leadership role - look elsewhere.
