Pros

Great opportunities for those working hard and achieving financial results Multiple locations around the world, diverse workforce Strong culture, people feel proud of working there

Cons

Terrible in people management (lack of psychological safety among employees, employees constantly afraid of being fired, does not foster innovation outside of HQ, diversity exists but inclusion does not happen, e.g. there are limited women at senior positions, there is a clear preference for French nationals)

Pros

- Decent Benefits at the Entry Level - Well paying at the Entry Level - Ability to move jobs every 2-3 years - Flexible Schedule - Semi-remote schedules are being piloted in IT

Cons

- HR is not strong - Unrealistic deadlines (that keep getting smaller even though everything seems to falling apart) - Toxic Culture - No work life balance - Terrible approach for Promotions (I've never gotten a clear answer from anyone so my salary has been stagnant for 5 years. When I raised this to one of the higher ups I work with, it was implied that it was my fault even though I had been asking for years)
