Pros

Improve survival skills in a constant political fight

Cons

Mediocrity, obscurantism, lack of values. If you are not French or do not have French contract you better look elsewhere as there is no way you will have a career. No speak up culture and lack of moral compass where compliance has no strength compared to business. People get promoted without explanation as most of top management support each other in their mediocrity. Abuse of power is the norm and you are expected to worship managers. There is nothing to learn other than survival skills.

Pros

- Good work life balance. - Good atmosphere in my team.

Cons

- Salary is 30-40% under market, despite "above expectations" at performance reviews and consistent positive feedbacks. Run away if you're on a visa, they'll take advantage of you. - I agree with other comments, HR team is toxic, power play. - Slow. - Don't expect to be able to change things. - No IT culture, lots of manual tasks with low value added due to very poor IS. You'll spend half your time exporting data from legacy systems, manipulate the data and do low value added reporting. As an example, you need to go through a poorly designed UI to export a greek, and wait ~15/30min to proceed with another export. And you only have access to a quarter, so for a period of one year, it's 4 exports. Imagine having to export 3 different greeks over a year, that's 12 exports. - IT team couldn't whitelist yahoo finance endpoints after two years of back and forth with several IT teams.
