Pros

Very international environment, well-known automotive brand, it doesn't look bad on your CV. You get to meet some interesting people with diverse backgrounds.

Cons

Very long hours for a rather mediocre salary, unrealistic deadlines, almost no recognition, lots of pressure, no systems (key company data is shared across the business using Excel files), very limited growth opportunities for employees starting from entry level, horrendous office building in grey town in the suburbs of Paris, overpriced Nissan Cafe with limited meal options for employees buying lunch onsite... Nissan Europe doesn't even meet the standards when it comes to basic workplace hygiene: Small insects are part of the ecosystem in restrooms and open spaces. If you get a job at Nissan Europe the first thing you'll realize when HR escorts you to your desk is that nothing is ready to welcome you: No computer, dusty desk... Sometimes even chairs are scarce in this company. So be ready to roll your sleeves up and crawl under your desk to plug all those messy cables at the right place. Still miles away from becoming a "Great Place to Work" I am afraid. Definitely not up to par with other European Headquarters.
