Pros

Big company resources Many opportunities to travel Competes in an attractive industry. With some real strategy (not just PowerPoint presentations), Lafarge could be a spectacular company

Cons

Bureaucratic to a fault Executive management more concerned with outdoing the competition (Holcim in particular) rather than in maximizing the health and profitability of the business Meetings for the sake of having meetings

Pros

The benefits and compensation are better than average. Development opportunities are available, but you need to pursue them.

Cons

Lafarge is a very male dominated company. Good if you're "one of the guys". Not so good if you're not.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great People to work with, especially management which is more often than not cooperative , understanding and caring. Defined benefit and defined contribution Pension plans are the corner stone of the better than decent benefits. Bonus is reasonable, depending on grade (10-20 % cap, usually can expect to receive between 50-75% of cap). Decent vacation time available with good health and insurance benefits. Total compensation would roughly work out to be 120% of base salary.

Cons

Financial/Accounting job advancement prospects from mid-level upwards is not as great. There should be more opportunities and encouragement for movement between corp and business units
