Bureaucratic and frustrating; incompetence is acceptable

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some well qualified and hard working colleagues

Cons

French laissez-faire: it's not my problem. They have little competence, no urgency, and no accountability. For them, vacation is the most important aspect of work. French misunderstanding of American business. Provides French -level standards of customer service and quality (low, during European time zone) even when told this isn't competitive with U.S. competitors. French-installed leaders manage upward, not downward

Business Outlook

Pros

conservative company, employee benefits such as annual leave, pension are generous, company has some intelligent people, office culture is relaxed and location is in a good area

Cons

very political, disjointed company with different departments moving in different directions, management of general staff is poor. The quality and number of contractors at the company has to be reviewed as is their pay, there is also a quite a difference in salary between employees and compensation review is not transaparent, bonus is poor
