Where We Are

"It's clear that people matter in CGG, with a family feel to its offices. This is also reflected in their extensive staff training program and their open-door policy, right up to board level."

"In 2003, I was offered the chance to open and manage a new office in Dubai. This was a huge challenge for me, but having the full support of a large corporation made it much less daunting. It made me realize how approachable and helpful CGG staff are."

"In my department, there is a team environment; it’s a really tight group of people, almost a family. There have been changes in the group but it never takes long for new people to feel part of the group, become part of it and fit right in. The people I work with, and for, are all good people. At CGG it’s about the people and they’re just good people, they’re good to work with."

"I enjoy working with my team; people here are knowledgeable and easy to approach. A lot of occasions such as birthday parties, breakfasts and lunches allow us to mingle with other groups. Another thing that I find interesting is the opportunity to meet people from other centers, usually from different cultural backgrounds, resulting in enriching experiences."

"I appreciate the fact that when I was new to the role in CGG, I was given the opportunity to work on a project with leading-edge technologies, such as BroadSeis. Not only did I work with continuous innovation on a daily basis, but also my supervisors trusted me and believed that I can make a difference. Learning and working in CGG gives me the feeling that I can make the world a better place and that I am not merely a problem-solver or a machine."

"Since coming to CGG five years ago, I have found a home with this company. I think it’s a great company and if you have the opportunity to work for CGG, you should."

"At CGG they try to grow your talent, not suppress it. I think that’s really important in a company. They’re like really good parents. I have found an open and dynamic workplace environment at CGG which supports the freedom to make decisions and change, something that isn’t typical of a large company."

Stephan Midenet,

"After I joined CGG, I was struck by how high-tech our business is and how important the human factor is. It seemed like a constant 'miracle' that we were able to get a high-tech company to operate in a remote corner of the world, with up to 1,000 local workers, in full compliance with our quality and safety standards."

"There is a strong sense of community and support within US Imaging (USI), and you can always get help when you need it. I started in USI as a Jr. Seismic Imager and worked up to a Project Leader position.

I have found USI to be a very welcoming and encouraging place to work.”
