Pros

Interesting industry, interesting people and interesting clients.

Cons

If you don' work in one of the French or German HQ's or hired directly from the HQ, you can consider yourself as second hand employee with not much benefits. Being hired directly on a project or in the satellite office can be considered as a death-end career move with no support from management.
