Pros

The pay is substantial. The benefits are competitive.

Cons

Socially cliquish environment where you have to fit in or get out. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how gratified the customers are with the quality of your work. It's all about whose rear end you kiss and whose ego you fondle. The more entrenched and uneducated they are, the more dangerous they are to your success. Veolia rewards mediocrity. The "pros" of substantial pay and benefits are a trap.

Pros

Great schedule. Good pay. Great benefits.

Cons

In the middle of a merger. A lot of changes recently. Not necessarily bad.

Pros

Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

Cons

Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
