Pros

Fantastic culture that allows you to have a personality. Promotes from within and has realistic expectations on workload so work life balance is better than other companies I have worked for

Cons

Not the biggest payers and poor parking facilities at head office. Flexible working helps with this but they really need better parking options

Pros

Amazing products make for a passionate and engaged workforce. Decentralized business model means each brand and market company is able to to act independently (to a point) and set its own internal goals and objectives - often creating a feeling of working for a SME. This builds a strong bond amongst the employees and a great working environment. There are also plenty of travel and global relocation opportunities.

Cons

Being a French organisation, nepotism is still a major issue. Many times I was instructed to interview the son or daughter of a group company director, even if that individual held none of the skills required for the role I was recruiting. Failure to offer such an interview, or in many case to actually employ the person, meant the recruiting manager was seen as not being a team player. Ultimately it's only those who are prepared 'play the game' that will stay with the group long-term and sadly there are now a large number of business leaders in very senior roles simply because of who they are or who they know. With just a handful of exceptions, the best and the brightest people that I worked with over the years have all left to pursue careers elsewhere.
