It’s always good to get the inside track before setting out on a new venture. So, we asked a group of colleagues about life at ENGIE Laborelec. Our questions ranged from “What do you like most about your job” to “Would you recommend the company to your friends?”  and “How do you like the surroundings?”

We were delighted by the responses, from the heartfelt “it’s inspiring” and “it’s a very human company” to the more down-to-earth “always something challenging and new” and “good salary and benefits”.

Here’s a selection:

Always something challenging or new

I appreciate the opportunity to work on diverse topics involving not just R&D and innovation, but practical operational things too. ENGIE Laborelec’s special feature is that it’s a bridge between upstream R&D and downstream industrial applications. We also have a lot of autonomy in our work.
