Pros

Global company, the inefficiencies of the Canadian operation get lost under the Northamerica region performance

Cons

Very poisonous work environment, managers ask for outstanding results but doesn't provide resources to achieve results. It's humiliating to have to beg for PPE, and as result of cutting corners with cost they had a fatality last year. Only in a bad organizes company you'll see four CEOs in a three year period. That unstable it is. Perhaps in other regions of the world the company have better practices and is professional. If you show in your resume that you worked at Veolia, potential employers discard you.

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.
