Lafarge is OK, but not not very daring!

Pros

Safety is a highlight, Lafarge cares for people, and there is support when you need it (both personal and technical).

Cons

Don't try to take any more than a ten-day vacation (unless you're French!). The upper echelons are tight-knit and not necesarily there because of competence. Paralysis by analysis can be very frustrating, entrepreneurialism is apparently a target, but there is no real evidence of acceptance yet. Analyze everything to the seventh decimal place, and then go and do 100 alternate scenarios, however unlikely. Many good opportunities have been lost, but no-one cares.

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.
