Great learning environment but flat salary progression
Pros
Strong learning environment with exposure to cross-functional collaboration and useful tools (e.g., CAD, project planning, process simulation). Good opportunities to develop technical skills if you are proactive in seeking tasks and guidance. Supportive and helpful colleagues, and a stable, family-friendly workplace with solid benefits (pension, parental leave top-up, IA company status). Fair starting salary for graduates.
Cons
Limited structured onboarding and follow-up; significant reliance on self-driven learning and informal guidance from colleagues. Lack of clear processes and documentation means you often need to “reinvent the wheel” or actively search for templates and methods. Management is perceived as technically strong but less focused on strategy, structure, and long-term direction. Salary progression is relatively flat after a few years unless moving into management, with historical pay differences between legacy and newer employees.
