Pros

- really interesting and varied work - at the cutting edge of customer contract innovation - surprisingly good at listening to and understanding its customers - strong company values - they walk the talk on sustainability, recycling and safety - mostly well paid work with a consistent performance related bonus available if work up to scratch - some very smart people work there you can learn from

Cons

- good at listening to customers but legacy systems mean we couldn't respond as fast as we would like (although these are being updated/consolidated) - very fine margins in residential and business retail electricity so huge focus on risk management which is sensible but a bit stifling

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.
