Pros

- The company is not small neither big. - Paris office is awesome. Funny and with a breathtaking rooftop. - You can wear bermudas, flip-flops. It's very informal. - There are places to take a nap after the lunch, - People are motivated to work outside their teams. - There is always a party for some reason. - The employees are high skilled. - It's very challenging, regarding the scale (several datacenters with thousand of nodes each) - It's easy to go to events outside your country. - Promotion program well defined and clear. - It uses cutting edge technologies (machine learning, big data etc) - 7 weeks of holidays (paris office) - As an expat, the moving was incredibly smooth (docs, moving, temporary apartment, lawyer, etc)

Cons

Lot of services using Microsoft technologies. ;)

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
