Pros

I worked here for 3 years and I had a very good experience overall. However, I had a very dynamic and special management chain. In order to get contracts executed in the B2B environment meant escalation and I was lucky enough to have a very inclusive and ambitious management team who supported me throughout my career.

Cons

Other teams managers that I had to work with were awful. Unpleasant and difficult to work with.

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.
