Pros

TOTAL is a good international company offering opportunities in many countries with a good sense of diversity and the possibility to change internally between jobs and places.

Cons

the fact that Total has headquarters in France could be viewed perhaps by the international employees as an handicap due to a weak job market in this country

Pros

-Hybrid work option and free parking.

Cons

As a contractor, the expectations were extremely high while the benefits, recognition, and job security were significantly lower compared to full-time employees. Contractors were often expected to handle multiple responsibilities due to constant pressure from upper management to reduce headcount, creating a stressful and draining work environment. Despite proving your value through consistent performance over years, contractors still seemed overlooked for growth opportunities. In some cases, employees with only a few months of tenure were promoted into full-time roles, while experienced contractors were passed over. There was also a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times the culture did not feel fully inclusive or supportive. Compensation was decent, but overall work-life balance, contractor treatment, and career progression opportunities need major improvement
