Pros

Good salary and lots of benefits for holidays, annual bonus and activities. Stable and safe work especially if you have a family.

Cons

Lack of innovative mindset and flexibility. Very strict hierarchy not allowing for change and development. Middle-management is really mediocre by not taking up responsibilities, not allowing team bonding and integration. Very few new hires.

Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to see that you have such a negative opinion of the middle managers, although one should not generalize. In 2016, we recruited more than 1600 people all over the world. About your "aging" argument, to give you an example: in France, 42% of our white-collar positions were filled by people with less than 29 years old.

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue
