Pros

A very strong technically acknowledged position combined with a more recent business acumen. The place to be if you own or want to develop technical skills. High level training and quick accountability to rookies. More and more international culture. Speaking french more a should than a must. Better compensation scheme that it may look at first glance.

Cons

"French package" somehow difficult to be compared to an anglosaxon "all in one". Cash bonuses still way behind other companies, partially compensated by shares.

Pros

-Hybrid work option and free parking.

Cons

As a contractor, the expectations were extremely high while the benefits, recognition, and job security were significantly lower compared to full-time employees. Contractors were often expected to handle multiple responsibilities due to constant pressure from upper management to reduce headcount, creating a stressful and draining work environment. Despite proving your value through consistent performance over years, contractors still seemed overlooked for growth opportunities. In some cases, employees with only a few months of tenure were promoted into full-time roles, while experienced contractors were passed over. There was also a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times the culture did not feel fully inclusive or supportive. Compensation was decent, but overall work-life balance, contractor treatment, and career progression opportunities need major improvement
