Pros

- Very dynamic environment, due the short-term business cycles - Proximity between sectors and services (factory, stores, training teams) that allows a very comprehensive professional learning process - Bright and talented professionals that create a stimulating and quite friendly work environment - Good compensations (in comparison to the market's average)

Cons

- A very conservative and "vielle France" company culture, despite some sincere change efforts - Countless meetings. Lengthy decision making processes, even for simple and small changes. Lack of an "efficient briefing" culture, same work has often to be redone several times. - VERY long work hours in order to compensate time and productivity lost in meetings. After-hours and work during weekends are sadly part of the norm. - Interns hardly seen as hiring material, despite the several position openings
