Pros

No micromanagement. Great work/life balance. Self-directed work, self-monitored time away, small office, good communication with immediate colleagues......

Cons

Short-sighted leadership in US offices, friction between French/American ways of doing business, lack of customer service attitude resulting in loss of US business/clients, inappropriate displays of anger toward support staff/ customer directors/upper management by US leadership, lack of vision in restructuring efforts. Lack of support from IT and Paris leadership in general.

Pros

- Work culture, arguably the best in world - Good work-life balance - Exposure to full life cycle of an EPC project (concept to commissioning) - Undoubtedly the best Indian company that gives vast international work exposure - Lots of leaves and very good flexi work hours

Cons

- Career development is very slow - Believe in engineering specialization as opposed to the typical Indian mindset of expertise of all engineering aspects - Worst paymaster among all Indian MNCs - Very poor internal transfer policies, lot of politics goes on - Of late, the company has lost its vision in securing jobs and employee management, as well
