ENGIE selected this as a representative review
Great company to work for, I felt I was always fully supported by all members of the team and I made multiple friends throughout my time at the company.
Travel and overnights stays frequent but work culture and work-life balance was good.Another 70-odd characters to fill this box when i have better things to do.
Poor management haven't got a clue more concerned about scoring points for themselves back stabbing and lies is what they run on they don't care about you ! Your just a number they run a business about as good as one legged man in butt kicking competition
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Management
The managers have their favourites who can get away with anything, and everyone else is constantly criticised and told off as if we're all naughty children even when individuals are doing an amazing job. Very demoralising to be told off regardless of the quality of your work. I found out after I handed in my notice that I'd been one of the fastest and most accurate workers, but at my last review was told I could do better and try harder, rather than receiving any praise. Also, when waiting for influx of post managers make you sweep the same patches of floors or wipe the same tables over and over to 'look busy' rather than just letting you wait for the work to come in. Lame. And at Christmas, after being told we could leave early the managers would not let use leave after we'd finished our work, we had to just sit around for over an hour to run down the clock. Merry Christmas

I enjoyed working for ENGIE, opportunities for progression are somewhat lacking. Leadership teams are a little disjointed but overall a great place to work.
Pros
Decent benefits package
Cons
Little appreciation for hard workers
Expecting too much for the salary , unrealistic tasks.No cover staff has arranged. Did not enjoyed holiday leave,and come back to mess . People has treated differently and not equal.
Pros
Paid on time
Cons
Too much work load .
The job was stressful I was there 3months and off sick for 1 month. did not know where I was working from one day to next.Limited time on the wards.
Pros
Friendly people
Cons
Everything else
Management are very poor and don't listen. It's a case of whether you face fits. They make accusations without any adequate proof and generally untrustworthy company to work for. Keep on changing their mind with most things and keep you in the dark for as long as possible. Avoid dealing with any issues and management generally pass the buck between themselves. Very back handed and I would avoid at all costs!
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Everything
If you get stuck in you get rewarded. The sooner you finish the sooner you go home.Excellent benefits and great salary. I keep an eye elsewhere and tbh its definitely one of the best about
Pros
Benefits, bonus, salary, etc

Started agency work as an Audio Typist back in 2017. I requested afternoon leave to attend a dental appointment, whilst leaving the car park waiting at the barrier to exit a car reverses next to my passenger door and smashes into it (due to not looking behind her car). This woman (who turns out to be a senior manager of the company) assures me we will swap details the next day. i have a call from the agency later that day to say they are letting me go as my work was not up to scratch...?? Nothing was said relating to my workload previous to this incident. WOW just WOW, avoid at all costs as it will cost you!

Not an enjoyable place to work, targets are not achievable and you will make yourself ill trying to achieve them, in the end its not worth the stress and managers higher up away with the fairy's.
Pros
None
Cons
unachievable targets and work stress
Would not recommend this company. Work life balance non existent, Management have their favourites, their lazy, can’t be bothered with your wellbeing.All their concerned about is looking good to outsiders. If your a good, loyal, Hardworking worker you get treated like dirt. There are no job promotions in certain sectors of Engie. Anything goes wrong you get blamed for it even if you proved you hadn’t anything to do with it.
Pros
Get left alone
Cons
Incorrect pay, bullying, lazy management and some lazy staff.
Treat you like no one when you get your rest days and you will have phone calls to work and they will try and quilt you into working, telling you they will sort you out but never do people who work there are very two faced
Pros
8 hour shift
Cons
Stressfull
Absolutely horrendous company to work for. Work life balance was terrible. Awful rate of pay and even worse management. Absolutely hated working for Engie. The place dont care about individuals and we not care about the money they are making. Too much for too little money.

Worked at the office in Leeds for 6 month
my job was working with debt recovery, job role was helping to recoup money from customers who were in arrears with gas/power , when there was work to be done it was enjoyable - although quite boring when there wasn't any.
by far the quietest place I've ever worked, the majority of people seemed to keep to them selves, just didn't seem to be the energy and laughter you expect in a typical office.
Good support from management and employees when you needed it,seemed to be a workplace with limited opportunities for progression, a lot of the people who worked there had been in their job role for years. seemed to be the culture of being comfortable where you are.
I would recommend working here to someone as I enjoyed it but would advise you could be waiting a while to progress.
All though I cant blame management personally, the company showed me a lack of class in the end ,When COVID 19 hit and a lockdown was enforced , they only furloughed me for a month and a half.When I requested an extension they didn't have the bottle to respond to me , just outright ignored me. I thought this was nothing short of disgraceful as furloughing someone didn't cost them anything and just left me in a very uncertain situation.
The department who was responsible for the furlough scheme only responded when it suited them , when they did eventually respond it was only to pressure me to fill out the furlough form very quickly or else they would end my employment immediately, this was very rude and thought it was unprofessional (bearing - more...
On joining I was not told the full story of how the business would evolve. Not got a clue about how fabric works. Some managers are good and helpful. Leave alot to be desired.
Pros
Decent wages
Cons
Not a clue about fabrics
