Pros

The people are lovely, and the pay was decent.

Cons

- Recently laid off (seemingly in secret). Reasoning still unclear, but honestly I was happy to take the payoff and leave the burning ship. - Was part of a team whose psychological safety was ripped apart by terrible management. There was no trust and no autonomy. We're told what to do without much say in whether we think it's the right thing to do. - Managers don't listen to you. Any concerns you bring up are dismissed, or used against you. - A team that worked well together was split into two and moved into different organisational divisions? A move that no one agreed with, but went along with anyway. - People are reprimanded for failures, while success is rarely celebrated. - A culture where working outside of work hours is the norm.

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.
