Great location: Canary Wharf Recognisable, international brand Free gym memberships Generous holiday entitlements for London staff Decent salaries-across the board Fairly good work / life balance though a lot more favourable towards employees with children

Cons

Very French (seems harder for non-French people to advance their careers??) No employee engagement or CSR initiatives Some very poor / unsupportive managers exist in this entity Can be a high pressure work place No interest in staff retention these days

Pros

-Hybrid work option and free parking.

Cons

As a contractor, the expectations were extremely high while the benefits, recognition, and job security were significantly lower compared to full-time employees. Contractors were often expected to handle multiple responsibilities due to constant pressure from upper management to reduce headcount, creating a stressful and draining work environment. Despite proving your value through consistent performance over years, contractors still seemed overlooked for growth opportunities. In some cases, employees with only a few months of tenure were promoted into full-time roles, while experienced contractors were passed over. There was also a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times the culture did not feel fully inclusive or supportive. Compensation was decent, but overall work-life balance, contractor treatment, and career progression opportunities need major improvement
