Perfect place for bureaucrats

Pros

Job stability and low expectations, especially for low performers. Cannot expect the French government to let a national champion fail. Fun perks, like coupons/gift cards/swags that come out of nowhere.

Cons

No words can describe the bureaucracy! I thought my hiring manager was joking until I had to deal with the IT and purchasing bureaucracies. Past your third month and they become demoralizing esp. if you're a high achiever. Research organization loves meetings & campaigns that are dominated by people who love to hear themselves talk. The science is definitely subpar vs. PFE, MRK, Lilly, or Novartis.

Pros

401K matching is great. Health insurance options are pretty good.

Cons

Big company with slow bureaucracy. Salaries are below industry standards, and annual salary increases have been below inflation rates for many years. Top-level positions are created for specific people, there's no strategic thinking. This leads to a lot of confusion because there are many groups that seem to be doing the same work, but not exactly, and compete among each other for resources. Flashy ideas are given full support and budget while essential, but unglamorous, infrastructure work is neglected for years. Many people have left recently and keep leaving. Replacing top positions seems to be difficult resulting in recent hires being underqualified.
