TotalEnergies reviews

Coming from the ex-Total group (remember that Total purchased Fina then Elf), the new group certainly has the 'critical mass' to compete with its industry peers, but the overall level of responsibility for a given experience level has dropped dramatically compared to pre-merger days. It is felt by the majority of those coming from the ex-Total employees that we have entered into more of a 'study group' where much time and $ is spent on studies for 'studies sake'. - The company plays well the 'monopoly' on french-based employees: as they have a job for life (excepting any gross professional misconduct), the salary reflects that point and as a result is much lower than any non-French oil company.

- Dishonest senior management who have no guts to share the truth on the retrenchment disguised as restructuring / reorg - French ppl get to go back to France without worry about their roles - Locals and others get retrenched - gives lousy bonus but Senor management rewards themselves well
