Pros
Flexible working dependent on team Stable Diverse employee base Manageable workloads if you get away with the French way of working by drawing lines Large global footprint
Cons
Progression extremely slow and few opportunities for employee development as training budgets keep getting cut. Less and less opportunity to sync with central teams. All work, no play. No team building or cohesion within teams. Very individualistic culture. Sometimes you wonder how some colleagues get away so easily being unresponsive and ignoring emails despite reminders sent multiple times Performance reviews done just as formality and nothing really comes out of it. You have no way of challenging it anyway. Good reviews are rewarded pittance. Pathetic bonus cascaded to employees considering how much profit the company makes in good times. No nice frills like cool office, free meals like the big players Google, Facebook, Amazon or even local unicorn companies.
