Pros

Great learning experience Work amongst best engineers Innovative environment High heath and Safety Standards Travel opportunities Exposure to Corporate Culture Job Security

Cons

MS and BS engineers treated like technicians instead of engineers. Non PhD engineers not welcomed at meetings, presentations etc. The career growth is also very different for both. Too much Red Tape and bureaucracy, as could be expected in a big company

Pros

Large, diverse, talented group of scientists and engineers. Perhaps too inward looking when trying to find new approaches to solving problems. However, diversity aids talent and skill development of newly minted MS and PhD employees. Good cross fertilization of talent from different technical backgrounds. Could have been supported with improved business interactions

Cons

If you are not French and want a leadership role - look elsewhere.

Pros

NorPro is a pretty good place. Most of the people are very nice and NorPro itself generally makes good money and gives bonuses.

Cons

Saint-Gobain, the parent company, is a pretty mediocre company. It does not seem well managed and the benefits package is pretty mediocre.
