Pros

Great parental leave policy for primary and non-primary caregivers.

Cons

Don't expect to get paid correctly (or at all) for at least the first month. Don't expect to be treated with any kind of respect by anyone. Don't expect to see strategic direction from company leadership. Don't expect a team environment. Everyone is out for themselves! This is not a results based culture, it is a relationship based culture where you succeed not due to skills and results but rather due to kissing butt and playing the game.

Pros

There weren't any pros to working here. The only reason I gave them 1 star is because no stars is not an option.

Cons

Culture was awful, leadership followed "do as I say, not as I do" model HR was completely useless in employee issues French employees were constantly talking about how "stupid" Americans were to not buy $2 branded bottle water from France and instead drank American water No career advancement I was told nothing but lies when I was recruited If you speak against or report bad behavior of a member of the CODI be prepared to have your credibility called into question while you watch that person get promoted I actually had a VP get drunk and tell me which of the girls in the office he liked looking at and which he didn't in graphic detail Constant layoffs and transitioning due to bad business decisions by management Management never held accountable for any actions

Pros

Vacation days and holidays are a plus, if they approve you to go on vacation without a phone call or having to work

Cons

Favoritism. If you are young and they like you at the top, you are golden. If they do not know who you are, watch out!. Management takes credit for what the associates do
