ENGIE reviews

Leadership has consistently been a challenge in this organization. Direction changes, lack of consistency and zero coaching except from lowest level line managers. Executives are unable to provide a vision to functional teams, then struggle to understand work chosen to be completed by those given the decisions to make strategy choices. Consistent trend to not listen to employees not in the executive committee or immediately below.

- Low salaries. Bad raises. - Awful benefits, bare minimum. Expect to work most holidays that you'd have off in other companies. - Large portion of the workforce is apathetic. Toxic attitudes, laziness, politics, and ineptitude. - Complete inability to retain talent. Nobody with skill wants to work with a company so full of apathy, outdated technology, over-the-fence-throwing, and impractical/non-industry-standard processes. - Complete inability to hire talent. Open positions go months to years (!!) without being filled. In many cases, they give up and replace positions left by exiting highly-skilled employees with unqualified contractors that put in the minimum effort required to fill their contracts. - Huge amounts of IT issues are never resolved, making work frustrating and often impossible. - Politics, politics, politics. Ask a question in the all-hands and expect a 10-minute multi-paragraph political diatribe that says the same amount of absolutely nothing forty times in a row in forty different ways, where the actual answer could have been a concise 10 _seconds_ if they actually cared to answer it. They even tried to remove anonymous questions, because they were tired of people asking tough, relevant questions.
