Flexible and great environment to work in

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
New York, NY

I have been working at Crédit Agricole

ProsOne of the best things about this company is definitely their benefits. They are a very flexible company and management is really laid back. The company is casual and laid back due to the French culture, which makes it a wonderful environment to work in.

ConsI heard one of the downsides is the limited growth opportunity, but have not yet experienced it. The company tend to hire people from outside instead of promoting from within.

Advice to Senior ManagementI think that the management is doing a great job and they should keep doing what they're doing because they are understanding and flexible.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
