Each person's work experiences shape how they view their job. For my personal situation, AREVA has been EXTREMELY responsive to my needs. Life required me to work 1,000 miles away from my corporate office and AREVA allowed me, offered to me, the ability to work remotely as long as they were able to reach me, as long as no co-workers complained about their inability to reach me and as long as my work was being done. After seven years, I returned to my corporate office after having successfully worked out of state, out of region, for the time needed to help my family. AREVA afforded me personal responsibility proving to them that I was mature enough to do the work, create my own schedule but still available to help our engineering team and my family concurrently. I have moved through 16 different managers over the last eleven years holding the same position which has strengthened my confidence in my work while also taking in-house training classes to enhance my education. I love my job, how I indirectly help with the overall success of the business group and our team and I love where I sit. I still have flexibility with my work hours as the job requires longer days some days and other days less hours but in the end, the job is done right the first time with little to no rework. Customer service is important amongst coworkers as well as outside clients and I strive to provide the best service at all given times.

I worked at Orano DS for about a year and a half as my first gig out of college. Overall, it was a pretty good place to work. Most of my experience (about 15 of 18 months) there was working from home during COVID. The work was interesting most of the time, and I was afforded an appreciable level of responsibility for an entry level engineer, which definitely allowed me to learn a lot. That said, this came with a lot of work, and I found that I was constantly behind and always digging myself out of a hole. This made it tough. I did receive a pretty nice raise after about a year of working there, but I found that I was just too overworked (and I got the feeling that I wasn't the only one who felt this way). 

Pay was good for first job out of college. Right about where the market average at the time was, maybe slightly higher. Benefits were definitely good too, maybe about at industry average or slightly better.

Overall, I would recommend Orano to most of my peers. The workload was tough, but management was actively looking to expand the team. Everyone I worked with was pleasant, and there was an enormous amount of expertise even considering the office I was in was a small group.

With the constant fear of Reduction In Force (Management Promoted) what I once considered a Full Time Career with advancement opportunities I now consider just an 8 hour a day job.  I once was full time with multiple benefits (Vacation, Sick Time, Disability Insurance, Medical/Dental Insurance, Annual Pay Increases) and am now part time, still working 40 hours a week (1800+ Hours a Year with 4 weeks required time off at no pay).
Was included in RIF two years ago when I was told my job was being liquidated only to be offered part time status doing the same job from the same office - just now without the benefits for Vacation, Sick Time, LT Disability, Annual Pay Increases.
Don't get me wrong, I do still like the work I do there and the people I work with, its just the security of work is a bit questionable and Employer/Employee Loyalty seems to be a bit one way.

Best position I ever had! Flexible work schedule based on business needs. Excellent management team! Invested in their employees through work responsibility and training. Believed in performance reviews, mentoring, job shadowing and career advancement. Benefits were excellent including pay, promotions, vacations, bonus incentive plans.  

Learned to work smarter. Rework was discouraged; getting the job done right the first time was an instilled thought process. Company very focused on safety. Company provided a strong work/life balance. Was able to work remotely for a few years to help with family issues out of state. Management team very supportive. 

Hardest part of the job was when we went into project outages. Learned to work extremely well under pressure/deadlines. Best part of the job? I enjoyed going into work every single day or when working remotely, starting my work each day! Great company, great leadership!

Management does not listen to employees about not taking on new projects and clients when teams are already overworked. Expect 70-80 hour workweeks for engineers, with last minute domestic and international travel where you may plan to stay for two days and are forced to stay for two weeks. Phone calls and emails are sent at all hours of day and night, and you are expected to be on call at all times. Most people are exempt salaried employees, which means no overtime pay, and no recognition of hours worked. If planning a vacation, expect to work overtime before, frequent hours during, and overtime after. All these issues have been brought up to management multiple times, with vague promises of hiring new people, however when new people are hired on, they rarely stay long.  This is not an issue of young college graduates needing to earn their stripes, most engineers have 20+ years of experience, and are still expected to work 70-80 hours a week.

This place is a mess. They underbid their jobs and expect employees to work overtime without compensation. Meanwhile other employees have no work and are asked to take a pay cut. Managers are disrespectful and don't appreciate the extra time employees put in to get the job done. The pay is the only positive from this place but in the long run is not worth it. 

Expect a lot of travel without any notice. Also expect to pay you own way and not to get compensated for a month. Make sure you have a nice savings to afford the thousands of bucks you'll spend on the travel. 

They are just getting worse and veteran employees are starting to quit while they can't even get new employees to stay. I don't see how this company can stay competitive when they continue to treat their employees poorly. 

If you are looking for a permanent career with advancement in your future...keep looking.

AREVA primarily provides goods and services to nuclear utility companies. Therefore, AREVA's quality of deliverables must match the high expectations of its customers. The same is true about worker safety.

All my co-workers are highly educated. They are motivated to be as productive as possible in order to help the company's revenues. They take a high amount of personal satisfaction by collaborative efforts.

The company is divided up according to disciplines. So, it is challenging to align one team's goals with another team.

The people are friendly. Co-workers are from a variety of countries, so one experiences a wide variety of cultures and languages.

I learned a lot with the help of supportive admins. I did the normal duties such as faxing, scanning, copying, writing in travel expenses, compliance matrix for a multimillion dollar proposal that passed. The management was ok, it was incredibly competitive and that made it more difficult to advance because people who had been there for a long time were determined to push anyone out of their way to make it to the top. I always learned to work together and advance together, so being pushed down to the very bottom, wasn't the best feeling, especially since I worked really hard and was an asset for the company. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and gaining contacts for references for jobs.

Easy transition from Process lead to Project Management because of strong company support/training and years of experience.

Communication skill I learned is the key parameter to manage/motivate team and achieve project.
Risk and change managements are also crucial in this job.

The hardest part of the project management job is to limit as much as possible the interfaces (group/technical...) and pay attention to detail.

The most enjoyable part of the job is to work with people who shared the same company values and culture. I know I can rely on them as well as I know they rely on me.  Confidence is the key. Successes are the natural results.
