Pros

Well paid across the board.

Cons

Staff are treated appallingly. HR do not act on behalf of the worker or the Manager, they simply exist to try and limit a meritocracy and foster a private members club. You are expected to give up your life for the project. Hard work is calculated in the number of hours that you devote to the project. Line Managers are vindictive, back-stabbers with zero compassion for their workforce.

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.
