Business Outlook

Pros

- Good starting salary for an IT consulting firm - Better contract than most other French consulting firms ("Métallurgie" whereas most others use "Syntec") - Good work/life balance. Barring temporary crises, most employees do 37-40 hours a week - Some good opportunities to work on interesting, large-scale projects (if you're lucky)

Cons

- Low salary rises - Non-innovative tech culture - It's still an IT consulting firm. Consultants are basically meat. - Constant management changes, yearly evaluations done by a guy/gal you've never seen before and will never see again - Which doesn't matter, because evaluations are basically uncorrelated to salary rises
