Pros

- Great offices, - Paid french classes, - Fantastic cafeteria, - Knowledgeable coworkers.

Cons

- Horrible work-life balance. There is either nothing to work on, or you are under extreme pressure to deliver, which means managers do not do their job. - You're just a number. It took them one week, exactly one week, after the first confirmed case of coronavirus for them to layoff all the contractors all at once. Two weeks after that, 50% of all full-time employees for three months. More interestingly, we kept hearing rumours for two weeks before all these layoffs which made an extremely stressful atmosphere. - The job could be extremely boring. It could take you hours and hours to just test your code on the actual sim.
