Pros

Placement scheme at EDF is great hands-on experience at one of the largest construction projects in Europe. Every day is different and the support from managers is very good. The company is also very open to letting you try new things and take your career in the direction which interests you.

Cons

Depending on your specific placement your role could end up being less traditional supply chain management based (e.g. you may end up in a role focussed on governance or people-strategy, instead of contract management or procurement).

Pros

Real opportunities to grow into more technical roles (Control Center Operator → Systems Engineer paths exist and aren't just on paper). You get hands-on experience with industrial systems most people only read about — OSI PI, SCADA, OMS integrations, cloud telemetry — which is hard to get elsewhere. Management generally supports continued education and certifications.

Cons

Decisions move slowly. Getting tooling, software, or process changes approved often involves multiple layers, including approvals that flow up to the French parent company. Procurement and IT requests can take weeks for things that would take a day at a smaller company. Some legacy systems and processes haven't been modernized — you'll find yourself working around quirks instead of fixing them.
