Pros

high salary for a small town

Cons

Worked for Alstom IBRE (around 40 employees in total) in a team of 5, including a sales director, a project manager, a senior engineer, a mechanical engineer contractor and me (mechanical calculation engineer). Really bad management, constantly changing expectations, self-contradictory orders, cheap manipulation tactics. Lack of technical expertise, innovation and resources (at least in terms of mechanical simulation and physics). They cared too much about money and pushed for results at all costs, disregarding technical aspects while holding blindly to their false beliefs dispite evidence. Lack of accountability. When my project went south, they dumped everything on me, not even thinking for a moment that it was them who had started the project and always wanted to control every single detail of it. An amazing feat of cowardice. Toxic workplace overall. Good to make money short-term then never go back.

Pros

There are some great people in the company, although a lot of them have left. The company offers experience of politics and strategy in one of the largest french companies

Cons

Toxic leadership and management. Management "bubble" disconnected from people and reality. Very bad HR management. Powerless HR. "Friendship" more rewarded than professionalism and competence. Excessively abnormal long working hours. Significant understaffing to face the work structure. It leads to general internal clients discontent , which jeopardizes interpersonal relationship and puts company at legal risk.
