Pros

The company cares for your wellbeing and your development. It focuses you on enablers of success rather than the pressure to achieving target. Lafarge is worth investing your career for the long term in as the business of Lafarge is equally long term

Cons

Decision making may appear slow at times and the influence of French labour laws has a lot of impact in Lafarge cculture...so you may have different experiences depending on where you work in the globe

Pros

Lafarge has a nice salary structure and health benefits package. The company values safety more than many others and although the process of working safely for some is a pain in the rear, I welcomed it.

Cons

Not many. A down or slow economy creates a "doom and gloom" atmosphere and "do more with less" attitude, but most all industries will experience the same. The cement manufacturing & distribution industry is like a roller coaster ride.

Pros

Good hard working people. Accepts change easily. They historically have been able to take practically nothing and make something of it.

Cons

Management is somewhat snobbish. New management pushed out most of the knowledgeable experienced managers and replaced with a good buddy system that rewards each other. They sell an idea that they can do it better by quickly identifying what's wrong and are quick to implement a new system instead of fixing or improving on what is already in place and then move on. Company has been cash strapped for a while. Much of the asset equipment is deteriorating. They are shrinking in the US.
