Pros
-Moderate workload (depending on the job) -Management is currently exploring opportunities to modernize procedures. This is good for those who would like to experience in process improvements - Management has good intentions and they follow employee-friendly practices. The company is very French when it comes to employment policies.
Cons
- Career prospects are minimal. The company hires mostly contract staff. Conversion to permanent employment is decided in Paris. - Middle management is a bit aloof. As an Asian employee in Singapore, i find it awkward at times. Working relationships are quite artificial with middle management. -Many decisions incorporate political considerations at the middle and higher management. - French speakers and French nationals have better prospects. - Department meetings are extremely boring. - It can be too traditional in some processes (e.g., signatures are still required in some mundane processes)
