Pros

Great food - catered by Sodexho. NIce surroundings - They spend countless millions on landscaping.

Cons

It is like working in a prison. A Stalinist society where staff snicth on each other and back-bite. Where you can be denounced by an unknown staff member. The result is a lack of initiative and an environment of fear. The President, is a vain, arrogant man who collects jets and feels he needs two armed chauffeurs to drive his car.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
