Pros

OK salaries, but advantages wise we are limited. The branch I work for has no appartments to offer to employees who recently moved into that city specially for that job offer. Otherwise, good conditions, good working hours, no over-time though, but good coverage on the insurance grounds.

Cons

No over-time, caught the company at a bad time, lack of cooperation between certain members and the presence of an obvious gap between generations and mentalities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Vacation period of 4 weeks was very good. Plus additional week between Christmas & New Year where office closes down. Compensation generally quite good.

Cons

Pension plan and Medical support plan limited and constrained. Costly for a full benefits medical package. Costs of 20% of all claims still remain with employee. High cost overheads - many contractors - producing high resource costs Centralised decision making within France - outlying subsidiaries have very limited intervention in decision making unless is it towards their own geogrphaic region of responsibility Commercial team aloof and not willing to co-operate across teams

Business Outlook

Pros

As working with 29 units worldwide under function of industry excellence and quality, my team was great. I worked in La Defense - the HQ of Alstom Grid, very international and open-minded working enviroment. It also provides different employeement benefits such as trainings, ect.

Cons

I found the company lack of change and dynamism, repeat same process and same working content for years. No optimization/change in the customer satisfaction surveys and indicators which have been lasting for years and maybe are no longer suitable to the business
