Pros

work and more work when you are done with the first task without guidance from your manager. it's just expected, if not happy, please leave

Cons

zero recognition or appreciation, from the management, politics, back-stabbing, people saying no first to everything & change. not caring about employees who commute & stay far away when the site is situated in the middle of nowhere (Paris-Saclay it is not!!! it's just a stupid branding JOKE) organising "fun" so called events after work and not giving a thought in a so called "caring" company (not bothering to organise a shuttle to Massy after) but still saying we're are the best!!!

Pros

The culture on site is wonderful and vibrant. People that are there care. Location and office is beautiful. Benefits are good but lots have been reduced. Most people are very kind.

Cons

Leadership is not held accountable for the same standards as everyone else even if they are the ones implementing those standards. The politics are exhausting. Onboarding was a mismatched mess. No one explains anything and it feels like you are dropped in the middle and expected to just figure everything out.
