Good benefits, but stifling management

Technical service engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a good benefits package and one of the best 401K matching programs. They also have a really nice flex time option. It is an alternating 980 schedule, but instead of every other Friday off, you get one Friday per month. It helps to stretch your vacation. In general, the people who work there are very qualified and knowlegeable. They used to have great safety lunches (once per quarter) and would award nice non-compensatory gifts for participation and good performance.

Cons

They are very compartmentalized, and territorial, especially between corporate and R&D. Management used inappropriate metrics for measuring employee productivity. Perception of work seemed of more value than actual work.

Like to travel? You've come to the right place....

Engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Travel abroad: one of the main reasons I joined Total was the opportunity to see the world. International mobility is a prerequisite for anyone considering working for Total. Work/life balance is quite good at Total....I've never seen a project get sacrificed for someone's summer 5-week vacation!

Cons

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.
