Pros

Essilor had some exciting projects and some really great people to learn from. The team I worked for and the team I supported was pretty amazing. Projects were interesting and kept me busy and on my toes.

Cons

Our manager was a huge issue for our team and despite our consistent escalations to via HR and our own chain of command, there was little done to remedy our situation. No one from the original team is there today. Instead of working to resolve the situation, they had 100% turn over.
