Get to know us better

Here, we think your fulfillment brings that of others

“The future is you.” A simple tagline, but one that says a lot. And this commitment isn’t solely focused on our clients: it’s also intended for you, our employees – both present or future, and everything you can achieve with us.

“There’s room for all the ideas, for testing them, developing them, and most importantly, making them a reality.”

Clémence, HR Director

131,000 employees and just as many ways of working

They’re Morgan, Clémence, Flora… and they’ve worked with us for years now. They’ve watched us grow, and we’ve watched them grow. They’ve transformed our way of seeing things – and the reverse is true, too. Now, they’re lending us their words to show you our day-to-day, and you’ll find their testimonies in the following pages.

Because in our group, each employee has their story, their desires, their ideas, their strengths, and their weaknesses. And it’s all these individualities that, when put together, make us unique.

With us, there are enough fields of expertise, challenges to meet, and technologies to master for each person to find their place. Where will yours be? That’s for you to decide.

Whatever impression you had of the Bank, forget it!

Innovative and diverse projects, every day.

Our mission is to spend every day reinventing the banking relationship and anticipating what our societies will look like in the future. It’s an ambitious challenge that makes for a highly diverse work environment that flirts constantly with innovation and new ideas.

We are genuinely committed to the innovation of tomorrow, as proven by our recent acquisition of the start-ups Shine and Global Market Innovators. Both have an approach and technologies that are in line with our challenges as well as our vision.

A sandbox for your future

Reinventing yourself to stay relevant also involves the way in which you perceive the job! We share a culture of experimentation with our employees: you know better than anyone else how to improve your work, and we know how to listen to you.

By giving you the space you need to express yourself and to experiment, we’re taking yet another step towards what our company will look like in the future.

Video transcript

Dans le Groupe Société Générale, on a effectivement 4 valeurs fondamentales.
La première, et peut-être la plus historique, c'est l'esprit d'équipe.
La deuxième, c'est une qui est évidemment très importante en particulier post-crise, qui est la responsabilité.
Ensuite, il y a l'innovation.
Enfin, celui qui évidemment me tient à coeur, c'est l'engagement.

Société Générale s'est engagée lors de la COP21 de Paris en 2015.
Elle a pris l'engagement de ne plus faire de financements dédiés sur le charbon, les pétroles issus des sables bitumineux et les pétroles de l'Arctique.
Mais ce qui caractérise peut-être Société Générale par rapport à d'autres boîtes, c'est que, au-delà de cet engagement au quotidien devant nos clients, ce qu'on fait, c'est qu'on essaye de trouver des moyens d'engager aussi à côté.

Chaque année, Société Générale propose à l'ensemble de ses collaborateurs de s'investir en France et à l'international sur des missions de solidarité.
J'ai entrepris une nouvelle mission d'accompagnement d'un réfugié.
Cette personne s'appelle Tété, elle a un Bac +2 dans son pays, le Togo, et a décidé de reprendre ses études en arrivant en France.

Nous sommes un mécène de la musique classique depuis des années et on a ce projet qui est absolument fantastique qui s'appelle "Playing For Philharmonie", où on propose à des collaborateurs de joindre des professionnels et on se produit ensuite au bout d'un an et demi sur les plus grandes scènes internationales, dont la Philharmonie de Paris.

J'ai créé la startup IT4Girls parce que je travaillais moi-même au sein des DSI du Groupe Société Générale, et je m'étais aperçue qu'au sein de nos équipes, on manquait de développeurs et notamment de développeuses, et j'ai pensé à créer une startup qui proposerait des ateliers de coding aux enfants dès le plus jeune âge, et notamment aux filles, pour pouvoir les sensibiliser et peut-être un jour les recruter plus tard dans nos services.

“What stands out for me from my experience at Société Générale is the collaboration and team spirit.”

Mégane, Client Advisor

Following an internal survey, we’ve noted that collaboration is the value most widely-felt by our employees, and that doesn’t come out of nowhere.

Pushing past boundaries is always a group effort.

You need a caring environment, advice, support, and sometimes even constructive comments to better progress. And conversely, you sometimes just need to work alone, independently, without being disturbed. We respect these needs along with everyone’s personal space.

It’s important to say things to one another. You have the right to express your opinions, and it’s our duty to provide you with the best conditions in which to do so.
