Pros

-Good salary -Gifts by employer -Good tech stack

Cons

I would not advise people to join this company due to the dirty politics and non healthy work environment My mental health worsened there and the way performance review is done is completely biased. I had to wait for months in order to recover before I could start working again. The rivalry between colleagues is at its peak and one do anything possible to get promoted. Fake words like team spirit raised during sprint retrospective . It is easier to get fired than getting hired. Also the offers are tempting but it is not worth sacrificing your mental health for such things. Do not get tempted by the social media hype on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram etc.. Many people got fired with compensation recently due to poor management skills and poor company vision. If you have a family to look after, then it is not the place where you should be adventuring.

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
