ENGIE reviews

Negotiation of pay and other compensation is relatively inflexible, and good talent leaves because of lack of adequate compensation. There can be excessive red tape due to the size of the company, as well as a fear of changing and trying out new things by mid level management.

They are not going to hand it to you. You need to have your basics down before you reach for more responsibility. Many people are content to do the first part but not the work for the second. Yes, they will reimburse you for that work-related class you take outside of work -- but you have to take the class! Too many co-workers are content to sit and whine. It's sad because the issue is not that they are not talented, it's that they never stretch and show management they are hungry for more. I've seen people go from entry level to management through sheer determination. Changes come fast -- too fast to keep up with. Upper middle management is always getting juggled. It's to the point we mostly don't bother to learn their names unless they are directly above us -- because in 6 months it will be someone else.
