A bad career choice. - Geophysicist Viridien Employee Review

Pros

- The only real pro to working at CGG is that the pay is reasonable, although pay has been frozen for a few years now.

Cons

- Career opportunities are very limited. The role of a Geo/Project/Senior is essentially the same. You might reach Senior after 5 years but have no where to go from there. - Management have no reliable way of recognising good performance. This means that the people who shout the loudest get rewarded the most. This is not good for retaining skilled employees who feel undervalued. - The work is repetitive, uninspiring and unrewarding. - So many people have left that CGG have been forced to start recruiting again, although you would have to be very desperate to accept a job offer here at this point.

Mostly caring people, free lunch, and good benefits.

The hierarchy and growth path are not that exciting for engineers.

Pros

Viridien is a great company to work for, with a positive and professional working environment. The company has a strong international footprint, a diverse mix of nationalities and backgrounds, and a good balance of technical depth and business ambition. Colleagues are friendly, collaborative, and highly capable, and the leadership team is generally accessible and open to discussion. The work can be challenging and intellectually interesting, especially for people who enjoy technical, global, and client-facing environments.

Cons

Career progression could be much clearer and more structured. Promotion paths, development plans, and expectations for advancement are not always easy to understand, which creates uncertainty for employees who want to grow within the company. Salaries are also slightly below market average in some areas, and compensation should remain competitive to retain strong talent. Like many global technical companies, priorities can also shift quickly, so clearer communication and consistency would help.
