Pros

Interesting/sophisticated work; empowered to make important decisions; international travel (Paris); good work/life balance; market compensation; pleasant colleagues (some awesome, none awful); good immediate boss.

Cons

Currently a transitional environment because of organizational changes at Group and US HQs (impacts morale and job security); ocasional cultural gaps between French and US management (never a problem for me).

Pros

New location was good because it was in the middle of town and commute was not bad. Got movie tickets at a cheaper price.

Cons

Hours are long, the departments are always pointing fingers. A lot of people are always angry. Project timelines are a joke. Very old school mentality. Please do not work here unless you are really desperate. I would ask around, most people i think that have left the company or have been laid off have the same impression.

Pros

The benefits were decent and I enjoyed the paid time off.

Cons

High turn around. Politics is immense. Lack of knowledge and support in management. The WORST human resource department I have ever seen. If you ask for help to deal with your awful managers, they will band together and harass you to death and force you to quit. Your experience, knowledge, and seniority does not matter. No ethics and No morals.
