If you dont know to play the GAME, forget about career growth. Manager is your GOD, if you are not in his good books you cant step out of the department and also your promotions are a road block. They have this stupid program called ADVANCE which will restrict your career growth for the first three years in an event you dont finish it on time. Your manager dont necessarily give you time to prepare for that. Higher management is isolated from what you do on the floor. They only care for numbers .. You are a number unless you are counting numbers .. Benefits were good but now it is not so great. Bad Place for mid careers , no development for you out there.. Very stressful work environment.. A lot of French politics (unreasonable politics).. HR department is the worst department, they dont do sqat other than recruiting and providing you with forms .. Bad place if you want your company to grow with your inputs .. Middle management does not give $HT about u ..
