Pros

World leader, financially strong, always in growth mode, resilient during Covid, flexible work environment (WFH), good benefits, smart colleagues, committed to diversity & inclusion, took care of employees well-being during pandemic

Cons

All depends on who you work for - some leaders are highly critical micro managers (but not the majority), strong French bias, culture not as entrepreneurial as one would like, multiple rounds of layoffs in recent years as company merges with Luxottica - which has hurt morale; career development commitment limited to a select few while multitude live with uncertainty, not willing to invest in latest technology platforms to improve efficiency

Cons

Horrible base salary Horrible culture Discriminatory Was not impressed by Leadership team Seemed very arrogant but most unprofessional group of people I've ever witnessed in my 25+ year career Cult like Training program was like boot camp and trainers were unprofessional, had cliques, and were insulting These people are brainwashed If you are not brainwashed you don't fit in If you don't drink their cool aid they do everything in their power to discredit your abilities and let you go I have PTSD from my short time there They are brow beaters and not encouraging
