Advice to Senior Management

i propose total quality management

Pros

Stable not hard job. Stable but slow salary and career growth. Easy to combine with personal life and interests. No stress.

Cons

Difficult to change the way things are done, many barriers. Slow salary and career growth. Very huge intermediate management. A lot of people to think, few people to do. Underpaid in comparison with other CAC 40.

Advice to Senior Management

Many intermediate managers to think, few operational managers to do. No discipline in management, everybody do what he wants. No clear product or operational strategy.

Pros

You are surrounded by passionate people. You can change your job every 3 years and discover new fields. You can work on some of the most exciting projects in the automotive sector right now: Electric vehicle and Low-cost products.

Cons

Human resources management is known to be very weak. Dont expect your bonus and salary to match your performance. The last year I worked for Renault, my performance level was ranked as "outstanding" (2% of the employees get this rating) and my salary increase was 3% (below the average level of the company).

Advice to Senior Management

The human resources department still reflects Renault's past as a state owned company. Now is the time to reform it. Its poor performance is a major weakness for the company.

Pros

International operations. Changing environment. 5 weeks off. Constant challenges. A lot of projects going on. Very passionate people in design and engineering department. Carlos Ghons starts to change the company.

Cons

Very complex hierarchy. Employees required to stay at least 3 years at the same position. It's quite difficult to move from for example IT to commercial department. Still very French company despite international operations. Constant budget reductions. In many departments you are obliged to take 4 out 5 weekd of holiday in August when factories are closed. Plenty of privileges had been cut in recent years (cars allowance, mobile phones etc).

Advice to Senior Management

Do not be scared to fire people. The company is over crowded
