Pros

Not much left that’s good now

Cons

The company in the past 3 years since Covid has really gone down hill, many previous great things have been removed and employees are now treated like children. If you want any freedom in WFH, leave the company as the CEO says. You must be in 3 days a week chosen by the execs with no consultation on what staff want. You’ll be tracked if you’re in the office, they now track are badges to see who’s in the office and what teams are not attending the arbitrary 3 days Staff are not looked after, if you want a standing desk, nope deal with the rubbish desks they have with no adjustment and enjoy back ache. It’s all about the CEO, everyone only ever talks about pleasing him. Well shocker he doesn’t run the company on his own and you’ve now steam rolled over all over the actual employees who build the company. Pay really lags once you’re in the company, so if you for some reason join make sure you negotiate a high salary as they are very barely move you up the bands meaning it’s impossible to get a good raise without promotions Bonuses are based off of ratings but these are down on a bell curve so even if you work your best and have a perfect year, good luck actually getting a review better than meets expectations.

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.
