Pros

- reasonable pressure - great potential - good opportunities to change function and geographic area - 45 days of holidays per year - good work-life balance

Cons

- still not enough business driven - a lot of politics - salaries are not competitive enough to attract the best talent - did not succeed in providing new services and is struggling in competition with companies such as Google etc.

Pros

Benefits outside the salary are quite good, actually way better than what other companies offer. OBS being Orange, it has big exposure to big projects so if you're lucky enough you can get into really cool projects.

Cons

My personal experience wasn't good. I was basically forced by my superiors to relocate for a project about 300 miles from where I live with inadequate housing accommodations. Though I respectfully declined I was pretty much yelled at although I had quite clearly said that I would not move away from where I live before joining. Unfortunate but it's part of the experience you get from life. The pay scale is not great, I know some of my school-mates who earned much more at other companies of similar size and for similar roles. It's a matter of luck really, there's no other thing to it. The upper management tries to promote the image of a big family where the new ones are taken care of but my personal experience never even came close to friendliness (again : it was down to bad luck).

Leadership needs a lobotomy

Pros

A very good award winning WAN network, lots of honest hard working people with pockets of good skills throughout the firm, and a legitimate contender for leadership of global communication services (voice, video, UC). A big Cisco and Avaya integration shop.

Cons

Leadership lacks integrity or accountability to results. French management likes to use words like innovation and vision without having any whatsoever. Complete lack of investments outside France -International is the red headed step child. Highly political environment where your buddy from school matters more than your work, ideas, or merits.
