      Terrible IT Leadership - IT Person EDF Employee Review

      Pros

      People are friendly, and supportive. Good work/life balance. Used to be a decent pension (which is why so many unhappy people stay). Many people 'look busy' and coast through.

      Cons

      Leadership is awful. Egotistical, bully like leaders who set the wrong example. The company cares more about the public opinion than the staff. This is a place careers stagnate and die, especially in the IT environment. Dishonest leadership practices and totally disconnected from the normal staff. Company claims to have an 'hopen and honest' culture which couldn't be further from the truth. If you're in the 'jolly boys club', you can do well, but if you have morals, it's not the place for you.

      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.
