      Cool to work for a public employer

      Postdoctoral
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - possibility of free training within the Inserm continuous education schemes - a lot of benefits are payed by default in France (no possibility to opt out) - often the congresses are payed for - plenty of vacations which are compulsory to take, otherwise you will loose everything by the end of the contract (and you are not payed more for the vacation you did not take)

      Cons

      - as a post-doc one is not allowed to have official responsibilities, and has virtually no word to say in any official research project - the public system has pre-fixed salary levels that cannot be negotiated - if you work more you would never ever be payed more in France - there is usually very little interaction between research groups

      Cons

      low salary, no promotion for non-French people. most likely have to live in the office. Bad office organization and compensation package.

      Low salary, cheap slave as a PhD student

      Phd student

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I don't see any plus point, have been disgusted from research by my experience as a PhD student.

      Cons

      Your PhD as all power over you. As a result, you are a very cheap slave that work 35 hours x 2 per week and he doesn't answer when you ask to take some (not all) legal holidays. I finished my PhD with health issues due to 4 years in hell. If that's how you treat human beings...
