Pros

Salary is good since at the higher middle of the market - in general. Safety oriented concerns is very well set. Management tries to following the management styles by the book

Cons

The old and long path for any decision making; actually no one can take any decision unless escalated to a higher level... we don't know when such decisions are made and by whom. Steering committees/ Xcom and overall management spend too much money than the normal F.Selling & Admin expenses

Pros

Lafarge used to be a great company to work for. Great compensation with bonus plan with many talented employees. Growth potential and advancement opportunites were numerious.

Cons

Lafarge in the United States is only a shell of what it used to be. The Company sold many assets the past few years to pay for it's burdensome debt from a middle east purchase of several billion dollars. It was a strategic move that failed and the United States and Canadian operations are paying for it by being sold.
