Pros
Stable company, terrific headquarters facility, good salary and benefits. Good for entry level to get feet wet.
Cons
Long hours, unreasonable deadlines (continual issue), complicated systems (good luck getting something paid), complicated reporting, poor systems training, horrible communications (management needs a class or two), and no concept of employee retention. It has been a downhill ride since the Sanofi purchase. You are expected to be connected at all times including weekends, vacations, and US holidays (you are on the French calendar). If you are a workaholic that likes to be unappreciated, Finance is for you.
