Pros

Time-off and health coverage are the only pros.

Cons

If you are a woman of color, do not go to this company. They will underpay you, discriminate you in the most insidious ways. Worst, if you complain of discriminatory treatment, they will not resolve the issue at the management level and rather put you on a black list to find ways to get rid of you. They will retaliate with your performance reviews, they will harass you through your management, put you in a non-promotable situation. Worst, if you are unlucky enough to be pregnant they will let you take your leave, however when you get back they will remove any meaningful tasks from your plate. So much so that you will have no other choice but to leave. This is a bad company, they think they are part of the big banks in 2023 but they have a backwards culture from the old continent: sexist, racist and silencing any form of challenges.

Pros

Employees are kind and good-willed, nice benefits, work/life balance valued at the highest levels, ability to move between teams, employees are open to collaborating and breaking silos.

Cons

Majority of senior employees are French who befriend and promote their own type, high attrition among non-French employees goes unaddressed, teams are repeatedly reorganized, poor tech all-around, a lot of red tape and risk aversion, many key decisions made in Paris with little coordination elsewhere.
