Pros

If you are French - you'll feel at home. If you are Chinese - better learn French.

Cons

Simply they did not pay my last month salary. When I was leaving the office on my last day I was assured it's going to be paid according to agreement. Waited few weeks - didn't receive my salary. Called and spoken to HR few times. She started to pretend she doesn't know who's calling and finally blocked me. Local CEO wasn't available anymore - left the company. The offered services are very poor compared to what is available on the market. You'll receive ancient laptop - if it breaks - you have to pay the cost of fixing from your pocket. It's impossible to get any kind of office supplies - everything including mouse/keyboard, headphones you have to buy yourself. Or dig out of closet if they have some old ones.

Pros

A big multinational from France. In North America, it is a small team with a solid client base. Opportunity to manage many facets of the infrastructure. Growing company that could have opportunities for moving from one country to another throughout their different data-centers. Fairly professional IT culture, and exposure to methods and applications that are less common in the anglosphere.

Cons

Company has an insulated culture. It is basically like working in Paris. If you are Canadian, you are second class. No matter the technical issue, the blame goes to the Canadians, in part because the visas of the French are dependent on their job. There is little to no comprehension of the anglophone market. Parisian standards are expected, in conflict with french bill 101 in Quebec. Parisian English is considered a working language but is generally incomprehensible in North America.
