Pros

- Good pay (although the platforming system to improve your pay needs improving - you essentially receive the 'met expectations' increase regardless of how well you perform throughout the year)

Cons

- The diversity of the workforce and in particular middle and upper management is very poor. - Management was not supportive when dealing with metal health issues. - Management was not supportive when dealing with sexist comments. - I really struggled to get much work to do. A lot of technical work is completed by external contractors (particularly for new build). I only completed three pieces of technical work as an author in the ~2.5 years I spent with the company.

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.
