Pros

Nice management and colleagues Net zero ambition which the company really does seem to care about Exciting nuclear new build projects

Cons

Feels like going back in time 10 years Dated systems and processes Archaic IT equipment Very old school in terms of hierarchy and culture, senior managers will go through their direct managers to pass on message, instead of just picking up phone to you. Claims to be flexible with working hours, but frowned upon if you show as away too often. Very “yes man” culture, pushing back is frowned upon.

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.
