Pros

Work life balance and flexible timings

Cons

Horrible Management. Lots of politics going on at every level, specially Hr to senior managers to your project manager are involved in politics. Deaf year given to concerns. They just act like they are concerned for employees but in reality they these Management and Hr everyone is playing politics, they will just play around acting like they are actually taking note of your queries. Hikes are worst. Even if you are dedicated and give your 100% they will still question your performance . All blame is upon junior employees as the senior managers are saints here. There are managers favorites here for whom everything is fair. Junior managers will try to impress senior managers and thats how you Go ahead. Working on old technologies and lots of customized tools are used which has no use outside. Policies are for name sake only. Carrier spoilt here totally.

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)
