Do not sufficiently understand value of expertise and agility

Pros

flexible mobility policy spacious, clean offices parking on-site interesting projects, leveraged by the large group (GDF)

Cons

Unattractive salary, even including benefits. Therefore, they don't actually manage to attract experts in technical fields. Brussels location is close to impossible to reach with public transport. Culture of inefficiency in HR / payroll / IT support Flexible hours policy is pointless because you still are expected to start before 9, making it impossible to leave after the morning traffic rush.
