Pros

Loads of talents to learn from. Nice office with free lunch, good compensation.

Cons

High toxicity within management, zero safety. New values were put down are throats recently, such as "talk straight" or "one team", but management does not apply these values to themselves. Unfair career progression, with random people sitting in Senior Director positions, and talented people stuck down there because they're not on the right projects/products or working with the right people. Top management relies on a mafia from the early days, who cannot be criticised. If you're not part of this mafia, nothing great will happen to you.

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.
