Balance between professional and personal development
What works well?
I find that collaboration between units is working better and better. It still needs to be improved, in my opinion, so that everyone is pulling in the same direction.
What could be improved?
Rethinking and enhancing the value of the human being would be a plus; it would allow us to develop new projects, to have new objectives, to look towards a future that can bring us a lot.

Excellent conditions, exciting projects
What works well?
Working conditions are excellent, including salaries and insurance coverage (accident - provident...). The company has a highly professional and modern collective agreement and company rules, negotiated regularly with trade unions and a committee representing employees. The budget for training is important, everyone is free to propose training courses which are mostly accepted. The working atmosphere is good, employee events are organised at regular intervals. The working hours are flexible and the company operates a lot on trust. The company operates through a matrix organisation, on a project basis. These are very varied, exciting and stimulating. The facilities operated allow you to discover the captivating world of hydropower, and more!
What could be improved?
There are, as in all companies, always points to be improved. However, these are regularly addressed and the continuous improvement process helps to correct things that are not working well.

A good employer
What works well?
Great benefits, modern workplaces. Generally very good working conditions
What could be improved?
In every company, there are areas that need to be improved. In general, the company is very well positioned. Where action is needed, management has recognized it and employees are involved in improving the situation.

Everything worked out fine for me. I don't really see any room for improvement.

At HYDRO, we find good working conditions, whether it is the dynamics of the teams, on the social level, schedules, salaries, etc... You will find your place here!
What could be improved?
It's a good company, but we can only improve by involving staff and management in continuous improvement both in terms of people and business development.

No prospects for the future
What works well?
The cronyism and opportunism. The coffee machine is also working properly.
What could be improved?
Management and seriousness. A lot of gloom in the halls. Employees are seen as pawns. Safety instructions and rules only have value on paper, the reality is quite different. No career opportunities are to be expected.
