      VEOLIA Canada - Aweful company to work.

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Global company, the inefficiencies of the Canadian operation get lost under the Northamerica region performance

      Cons

      Very poisonous work environment, managers ask for outstanding results but doesn't provide resources to achieve results. It's humiliating to have to beg for PPE, and as result of cutting corners with cost they had a fatality last year. Only in a bad organizes company you'll see four CEOs in a three year period. That unstable it is. Perhaps in other regions of the world the company have better practices and is professional. If you show in your resume that you worked at Veolia, potential employers discard you.

      Pros

      Highly specialized in water treatment, significant amount of in-house knowledge, investment in R&D.

      Cons

      As for most large corporations, occasional organizational issues (Again? A new PowerPoint Template?...). Depending on country, easier to move laterally in organization then to go up.

      Very European

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good treatment of people overall, reasonable long-term thinking and some attention to retaining good employees. This is the good part of "European": people still matter.

      Cons

      Very travel-heavy, lots of face-to-face international meetings, very centralized decision structure with most of the big decisions being made in Europe (this is the less-good part of "European"). Sometimes there's a feeling that the North American employees are a bit lower in the eyes of the Europeans and have to work harder and prove themselves in a way they might not if they came from France.
