Too much bureaucracy

Pros

Prestigious company Several benefits like food canteen, stock actions, pension plan, hot desk and hybrid working mode.

Cons

Depending on the project, technologies and processes can be very old and cumbersome. The internal promotion process is rather long during up to 6 months to officially change your position. It can be very difficult to develop a career and the salaries arent according to the market.
