Pros

Good work-life balance Good final pension scheme Barely any pressure

Cons

If your happy with staying at the same level for about 6 or more years this is the place for you. Dont expect a promotion any time soon and they are certainly not into titles, people working her for nearly 10 years may eveidence on Analyst in their title. If you are someone who is thirty for learning and actually want t feel like your brain is being used, then this is not a place for you, you will not be challenge, you can hand in work late... and the funny thing is the management kind of expect that given that they move deadlines so fluidly!

Pros

Real opportunities to grow into more technical roles (Control Center Operator → Systems Engineer paths exist and aren't just on paper). You get hands-on experience with industrial systems most people only read about — OSI PI, SCADA, OMS integrations, cloud telemetry — which is hard to get elsewhere. Management generally supports continued education and certifications.

Cons

Decisions move slowly. Getting tooling, software, or process changes approved often involves multiple layers, including approvals that flow up to the French parent company. Procurement and IT requests can take weeks for things that would take a day at a smaller company. Some legacy systems and processes haven't been modernized — you'll find yourself working around quirks instead of fixing them.
