Air Liquide reviews

Very political, outdated infrastructure / systems, bureaucracy & processes which are difficult to manage. High attrition in certain business areas. Several managers appear to have been chosen for pedigree over relevant experience & people skills. Managers rotate through positions in 3 years or less leading to short term decision making with shallow focus on P&L and stock price with no consequences for poor results after they have left the position. Line employees disconnected from long-term vision. Poor assimilation of acquired businesses into parent company (diminishing their prior potential). HR department suffers from high turnover and seen to be ignorant or downright dismissive of lower-line employee issues

Pushing out experience and "can do it right the first time" talent for younger, cheaper, do not know their gasholes from a hole in the ground raw recruits. Move ahead... get paid less, I guess that's the new career opportunity (see conditional rating below) as dictated by what bean counters can measure
