Pros

relaxing environment, good work & life balance, caring Admin people. Good reputation in local market, dispite the infamous chemical leak from its municipal plant recently. It's good for gradualate to stay couple of years and jump for others.

Cons

Really hard to do anything here, either execution of a project nor value engineering, the French were always in the way to delay and say no. Eventually some bigger French will come out and stop the little French from ending everything. Salary is median low among the market.

Toxic Corporate Culture

Pros

Veolia has strong benefits and some fantastic people who work in the field. They are smart, dedicated, and professional. They succeed in spite of the most toxic corporate culture I have ever seen.

Cons

Those who work in Chicago, if they are being honest, will describe the culture of "throwing others under the bus" if it serves them. This also comes from the many French expats who work there who describe a similar culture in Paris. HR is a joke and they have fired most of the competent staff while maintaining the corporate butt kissers. People are promoted for who they know not what they do. It often feels like a political environment more than a business one in that what you say to whom is the single most critical aspect. The new CEO is a dark cloud hanging over the organization.

Pros

There is not any good to say about veolia as it is run by people who do not care how they treat people beneath them.

Cons

There is so many to name but the worst thing is the management who will walk all over you.
