Pros

Some smart and cool people to work with… nice ish office

Cons

Lot’s of politics and lies are around… as a manager you are asked to tell your team member rather lie even though you know the reasoning behind most decisions… They just fired (redundant) around 100 people and said bla bla while it was purely because of performance issue… at least in eng department. Cutting expenses, no travel unless urgent or business critical (which none is critical according to management) no learning days because delivery delivery delivery… interview process is long for this job, that way lots of candidates either give up in between or reject after being offered… As a manager you will be a middle man who has no voice or no power. Someone else will make decisions and you as a yes man should obey. They are cutting costs, so no promotions or pay rises if I am honest with you. Working in office is the next joke… providing a pound sandwich is not good enough to encourage people come to the office… no social events… Tbh it’s toxic but you will get used to it. If the financial situation at the moment was not the case, I would change my job soon.(and will do it anyway) It was fun not any more… read other people comments and judge I know they will reply this comment with some nice word but it doesn’t matter.

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
