Pros

The pay and benefits are the only pros. If you can get past dreading to come to work.

If you take the amount of hours they expect you to work and divide that into your salary, the pay isn't that great.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Life/work equilibrium is very good, care for the employee as a person, freedom to change in case you don't like your job, first line management is good (at least in France). Workplace is nice.

Cons

No meritocracy, technical skills completely underrated, huge management overhead, too much politics. Lot of bureaucracy, ICT is completely disappointing. Career evolution is low and flat amongst all the employees.
