      Big Company, small location atmosphere ruined by politics

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Worldwide scope of an organization with great technical products and processes that can challenge technical people as well as good benefits overall.

      Cons

      Overall management handling of local employees is poor; continual changing of General Managers who always have to "make their mark" in order to move themselves up don't have a clue typically about the business unit creates a political atmosphere where most middle managers have to try to fit into the new manager's thinking to survive. The French obsession with head count, rather than investment dollars, creates a more haphazard work atmosphere as well.

      Good place to start your career

      Senior research engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      OK place to work

      Business Outlook

      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.
