Pros

Pay and benefits are good

Cons

The chaotic management of this company is unreal, they get away with it as this is a subsidiary of a big French company. If this was a US company they would be out of business as the work environment is so destructive. Their accounting practices would never pass any GAAP scrutiny. The management team is in a kind of a non-sense rotation (every other year or so) and their main job appears to be cutting more expenses and people than the guy before you. This is really the main and only focus here. So it's a deadly spiral down to zero. Stay away from this company.

Pros

Lots of PTO and if you have no ambition or desire to move up, you can easily get by.

Cons

Extremely political with lack of leadership. Leadership in the US are selectively chosen so they do the bidding of the French overlords. People get promoting only by sucking up and responding only “yes” back to leadership without having an opinion. If your protected by a French overlord, you can essentially just not show up to work and do as you please. Of course get promoted when undeserved as well.
