Be weary of the "really good" reviews

Pros

Mostly young and smart people. Ironically, the managers are academically less qualified and it shows.

Cons

Be weary of several "really good" reviews posted on this site. Management is unscrupulous, they will do whatever it takes to trick people into joining this company despite the really low pay (1500 e gross). The review titled "Top notch talent, analysis...etc" is very clearly propaganda written by management, for example. There are other reviews like these that are fake. For example, in Cons, "perfectionism" is included. Please, that's like going into an interview and when asked what are your shortcomings you say that you are a perfectionist. Come on, that's a really lame way of trying to make yourself look good. Last but not least, the head of research is a sexist pig who gives special privileges to his mistress (one of his colleagues).
