Pros

Good 401k match and vacation schedule. Flexible hours as needed depending on manager.

Cons

Toxic environment - attrition rate is very high for a reason. Legacy programs pay the bills but are treated like red-headed step children. Too much micromanagement and metric chasing. French managers take 3 weeks off like normal; US people have to work a deal with the devil and still stay in touch while away. If you are going use the French management style, give your employees the French benefits. Pizza parties and kudos are nice, but consider paying people for all the extra hours they work (not just the contractors).

Benefits package and nothing else.

Poor, Dishonest, And Cold-hearted management who will do anything to try to be #1 in the business. No accountability. Lots of nepotism. No ethics.
