Pros

Flexible work environment, hefty vacation time and great medical/dental benefits. Peers can be some of the best around, if nurtured.

Cons

Less and less focus on delivering services internationally. The company has lost it's appeal to the global marketplace. Employees suffer from political decisions vs. what's best for the company, the saying it's not what you know but who you know is running throughout the company. If you are not based in France, you will go nowhere. Too many internal politics, processes that don't work and outdated tools and systems making daily life a nightmare. Growth outside of France is highly questionable. Layoffs in the US for 2014 total over 1,000 employees and 220 employees in Europe to be laid off July-Dec.

Pros

The work environment and management are good, with a healthy work-life balance, but this only applies to certain teams, not universally across the company.

Cons

Old employees are paid less (or receive worse salaries) compared to new hires, even when holding the same job title or responsibilities.
