Pros

Great people, nice benefits, good opportunities for growth. It is also in a nice location right off the dulles toll road.

Cons

I can't really think of too many cons. It is sometimes difficult working with the Paris office due to the time difference.

Lafarge is OK, but not not very daring!

Pros

Safety is a highlight, Lafarge cares for people, and there is support when you need it (both personal and technical).

Cons

Don't try to take any more than a ten-day vacation (unless you're French!). The upper echelons are tight-knit and not necesarily there because of competence. Paralysis by analysis can be very frustrating, entrepreneurialism is apparently a target, but there is no real evidence of acceptance yet. Analyze everything to the seventh decimal place, and then go and do 100 alternate scenarios, however unlikely. Many good opportunities have been lost, but no-one cares.
