Pros

They have an excellent graduate scheme with an eye on the future, keen to bring people up through the ranks and reward those who stay with the company. They are an understanding company who will work around employees commitments where appropriate.

Cons

Limited in terms of travelling and potential growth beyond the sector of engineering (assuming in an engineering field). Not much potential for earning really really big money. The ease of progression sometimes means there are people in authoritative positions who probably shouldn't be.

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.
