Pros

Great team of people, interesting work with lots of people passionate about what they do.

Cons

Career progression for a lot of employees was stunted but cliques and internal politics. Progress and innovation often stifled by an overly process/authorisation orientated approach. The workforce has a large number of 'lifers' seeing out the days to those final salary pensions. This affects career progression and general ambition of employees as careers stagnate. Although the pensions are good this is often offset by lower salaries.

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.
