Business Outlook

Pros

- Good overall benefit - Feel good to work with a company with a great vision to help people - Flexible working approach, being in Essilor requires you to be agile and having an entrepreneur mindset

Cons

- Very strong French culture, for myself who had been in an american company for long time, it is very hard to adjust - Chaotic work structure and process, as a global company, the system and process should be more in place - Lack of cooperation from global to regional and to country level. No strategy exist, you have to think everything on your own without knowing what's going on in the big picture
