Pros

Room for growth Awesome learning culture Room to try new things Great safety culture.

Cons

So much red tape. Sad policies on vacation time and paternity leave. More focus on recruiting than retaining employees. A ridiculously high number of French [male] executives. I've read the excuses on here in the replies, but I'm not buying it. I'd guess about a quarter of sales are in France - there is clearly are disproportionate numbers of French executives. It's very discouraging being an employee literally anywhere else because with many opportunities French are considered first. (I tried to link to the Saint-Gobain leadership page on the website but I'm not allowed to use links)
