Pros

I worked on a single project for the duration of the internship. The project was managed well, and my internship mentor made sure I knew everything I needed to build the project, and that I had enough time to do write-ups, produce presentations and the like.

Cons

A lot of the technologies the company used were hardly the best thing for the job. Some of them were result of a poor decision somewhere up the line. Others were a good choice some years ago, but slow decision-making prevented them from being replaced. Getting things done took a long time. The fact that the database team was in Australia while I was working there meant that changes to the data model took several days to implement (thankfully, they were fairly cautious and didn't implement changes without testing - however, it did make things take longer). The technical culture was interesting, and not in a good way. I was invited to a yearly 'developer conference' where teams that were developing tools for use by other developers in the company gave updates on what they were making. Why I should rely on a yearly conference to learn about the most important tools for my job is beyond me.

Pros

Diversified workplace Mobility opportunities (many locations: Nice/London/Sydney are the main dev centers) Opportunity to work on different product, delivered through different technos, great variety of jobs Location OK (near Central Station/CBD) Flexible hours, convivial atmosphere

Cons

Too many home-made software which are usually poorly documented Not very up-to-date in terms of technology. Probably more fun to be there as a manager, rather than a hardcore dev. No clear career path and opportunities (either technically or in a managerial position) As the company gets bigger, too much paperwork, procedures, polticial stuff you don't want to be involved in Salary is just average compared to other companies Sydney-wise

Pros

It is very international. Official language is english.

Cons

Things don't move very fast there. They use very old technology ... .... .... French riviera is not really a good place to live if you don't have a car and if you are not a beach/mountain lover or sport addicted.
