Pros

Good environment for Operations. Some of the technical staff are world-class.

Cons

Less than stellar ethics amongst several individuals in the “top” management of Veolia North America (VNA). Also, the current crop of Senior leaders have an operations background and hence see everything in operations terms. They have close to zero idea on how to grow the company (“Business Development”) and assume an operations mindset is transferable to BD. In the past 2-years, near- Constant reorganization has gutted BD; about 20-mid-to-senior BD executives (especially in the M&C group) have been summarily fired or just quit. People do leave, but when you have such a large churn in such a short period of time, the logical reason is a percussive culture of deceit and deception amongst VNA top management. The annual strategy meetings are an example of kiss-up, kick down. Net-net, the company is losing contracts to its competitors. Again, VNA is an OK place if you want an operations focused career. But stay away if you want to do Business Development.
