Pros

The company is a global energy major, giving employees exposure to international standards, systems, and career pathways. Reasonable work-life balance.

Cons

Compensation is not always be competitive, infationary increases. Bureaucracy & slow decision-making. The company hires expats in senior positions without intergating them to South African culture, often resulting in multiple cultures in one company. Limited promotion prospects and career development.

Pros

American managers do their best to create a good culture.

Cons

You have to be French to succeed or move up. And you aren't highly regarded if you don't speak French.
