Pros

Great learning ground. A fair compensation package. Knowledgeable colleagues who are willing to share their experience along with their wins.

Cons

For a company promoting a collaborative “One Total” spirit , now “One Country” initiative, a common discussion among cultural peers is the reality of a new and dictatorial feel to TOTAL. A common generalization of the French culture is its indifference to input from “outsiders”. Unfortunately, whether they are willing to admit it or not, this generalization is beginning to come to life at the “multi-national” TOTAL SA.

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
