Pros

- Good salary and monetary benefits - good payment for on-call

Cons

High Micromanagement: Excessive oversight and inefficient approval chains for daily activities. Toxic Environment: A punitive culture where mistakes are shamed publicly rather than used as learning opportunities. Lack of Meritocracy: Compliance and physical office presence are valued more than technical skill or problem-solving. Geographic Bias: Career advancement and decision-making are strictly controlled by the French teams, leaving international employees with little influence or growth potential. Discriminatory Practices: Pervasive ageism and a management style that feels outdated and exclusionary.
