Pros
Total overall is a good technical oil companies. Diversity in operation around the world and internal experts make it good place to learn especially for graduates. Easy to start for new employees since internal process guideline is well structured. Some of the experts in the company are world class.
Cons
- You can forget about career if you are not french. Total is still a french company; you can feel it especially if you work in Paris. - Salary is ridiculous compared to other company. Even the expatriate package is not up to international standard. - Politics in the company sometimes could be a turn off for employees and it makes it difficult to move around in the organization - Work life balance is non existent
