Pros

Veolia has amazing people and the best products. The people doing the actual work are fantastic, and everyone just wants to do a good job.

Cons

Management REFUSES to listen to employees. We have regular town hall meetings where they keep citing strong financial reports, amazing diversity initiatives, and strong EH&S... but ignore the same questions from employees which are repeated over and over in the Q&A section. If results are so good, why are none of our raises keeping pace with inflation? Andy why does management keep pushing IT solutions (especially Google) which do not support our work, and create more stress and workload for the staff? Even our customers all know and see the issues our IT has created. They refuse to log into Google meets because it has too many issues, our tools don't work with eachother, and our projects are all suffering. Once we're on chrome-books how are we supposed to even run engineering tools like SolidWorks, Smart Plant, or even BlueBeam? Management truly doesn't care anymore. In our last town hall, more than 50% of the questions were negative feedback to management on their idea to push chrome-books to all employees, we know it won't do the job. Management stated simply to get used to the idea, because it's not going away. I would honestly love to know, who is getting kick-backs from Google to run the company into the ground?!

Great schedule. Good pay. Great benefits.

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.
