Pros

flexiblity in terms of where you live - as long as you are close to an airport or client.

Cons

it's really a french company, not european. an european consulting company would derive the majority of its revenue from Germany, followed by Britain, then France etc, aligned with the sizes of the economies as well as the propensity of a country to engage consultants. Just look at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Booz, Accenture or any other consulting firm and you'll see what i mean. There's nothing wrong per se about this, just that if you are not french focused then your career path would be different.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
