Pros

It serve lunch and fruits.

Cons

It hires foreign PhD (physics) students who can't find jobs anywhere else. So CGG can ask his employees to do anything anytime, because CGG know his employees won't leave, because they are hard to get another offer. The company tried his best to produce horrible peer pressure: It offers a very low base salary, but pretty generous with bonus, if you can work overtime. So many of your colleagues will work to midnight. Do you want to follow? It fires experienced people who can't work so late, because CGG knows there are enough fresh students in the market. If you are younger than 30, you don't have kids, you can work 12 hours per day, 7 days per week, you want to die 10 years younger than others, and you can't find other jobs, go to CGG.

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.
