Pros

Several locations to work from including on-site, remote or hybrid.

Cons

I worked here for over 10 years and saw the reality of how this company treats employees. This is especially true for women and mothers/primary care givers. I was part of a team that went from multiple parents, to only employees that are childless. Recently they even terminated a high performing pregnant woman. A company that terminates pregnant women is not one I would recommend. The culture has become a place where people look out for themselves and leadership isn’t afraid to throw people under the bus to ensure they are promoted. The HR organization truly lacks personal touch and sees employees as numbers. They promote people based on relationships and not on performance. Additionally, this is a French company that treats the U.S. as their personal whipping boy. Anytime Europe or Asia struggles financially the U.S. pays for it, even if the U.S. is exceeding their targets/numbers. Almost every year there is a RIF in the U.S. no matter how successful the year has been in order to make up for other countries. You are constantly on edge about job stability and your performance does not dictate whether or not you will still have a job.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
