Bonuses are highly contingent on how well/poorly the company (as a whole) does, so bonuses are almost nothing some years. Moving up from one job scale "band" to another is almost impossible after being hired, so ALWAYS negotiate for one level beyond whatever you're initially offered. Company tends to move and make decisions very slowly. Most decisions are made out of France and they look down upon Americans as 2nd class citizens, so there is little opportunity for creativity/innovation.
