TotalEnergies reviews

A lot of the upper management positions will be filled by Expats from Europe which only stay 2 to 3 years. While there may not be layoffs there are areas that have been outsourced to save money. Typically the outsourcing of groups does include layoffs or loss of jobs. In the US Total runs lean and continues to reduce budget every year. In the US one person does the work of 5 individuals, while in France this does not tend to be the same. A lot of positions are filled with contractors to reduce cost.

Micro management. Requires unnecessary face time even in covid times. Their handling of covid for staff is appalling. Staff sits on their desks taking concall with their masks down. People chatting over cubicles without wearing mask. Managers have lack of management skills. A good 70% of staff have been there for at least 7 years. They have no knowledge of what's going on outside. Expect lots of gaslighting and dismissive action from the top management. No career progression although it may seem there is. Local teams is made up of other nationalities other than singaporeans. They are constantly bashing smaller countries like SEA.
