Pros

1. Leave work on time as location is faraway. 2. Payday comes early. Almost near middle of month.

Cons

1. 90% systems & hardware are outdated. Active systems are built by Oracle Forms/Report. Using Windows 2000/2012. 2. Documents are lost. No user manuals for current systems. Difficult to learn systems. 3. No CI/CD. Even no version control systems. 4. May bring the notebook to home for work if need. Some workers still have to support at Saturdays. 5. Shuttle buses leave on time but frequency are low. You have to prepare more time to get on them. 6. For lunch, there is only 1 canteen in next building. Most of the staffs bring their lunchboxes everyday. Some of them driving out for meal.

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?!
