      What a ride!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This company takes great care of its employees. They go beyond expectations to provide you with a balanced work/family life.

      Cons

      The company is somewhat dysfunctional in the sense that it is all decisions are centralized in the headquarters in Europe and this really impacts business negatively

      Good for the resume, disqualifying on the long-run

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - brand recognition: this is one of the largest French MNC, a reference in its industry --> that's definitely a brand on your resume, which gives credibility - some of the world top power gen engineers in the field of power generation, especially if you are working - you can easily get some hands on assignments with responsibility early on fr a young grad, or experience on a construction site if you ask for it - lots of training opportunities with the Alstom University

      Cons

      - politics: this could be on your side if you know the right people, but unless you do, you will do the same thing for the next 15 years. Many of my extremely talented colleagues had to leave the company to do something that fitted their skills and potential better, as well as for a fairer remuneration. - HR department is solely behaving as a cost center, little to no care is given to employees career path, not open to horizontal mobility - no creativity involved: most of the (commercial and project management) work is delimited and no creativity is expected/required from you - not fun if you're not a technical guy (see previous point)

      Lots of politics for a confortable place

      Pros

      Varied responsibilities in a rich social environment. Respect of people. Technically challenging.

      Cons

      Politics politics and politics. We can move as long as we have all flanks we'll covered. Seniority allows you progress thanks to your contacts and network. However, newcomers are note really fitting to the archaic structure of command.
