Pros

They are really focused on making the employees happy. They try to empower all employees and managers to control their own area of responsibility.

Cons

In trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. Too much read tape in trying to get things done.

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.
