Pros

The region Cote d'Azur is amazing if you love nature and the outdoors. The mountains are only a few hours away and lend themselves to skiing and hiking. The beaches are very close, you have the choice of sand in Juan-les-Pins or stones in Nice. There are a lot of tourists during the summer time and give the region a very international feel. You'll make a lot of friends - almost all of them will live in Juan-les-Pins or Antibes, it's like a student city. The people that work here are really nice.

Cons

Old technology, not just software wise but also development methodology wise.The developers who actually do the work have no say during the planning stage. Pretty much all decisions come from "above". Due to the fact that there is no real methodology at work, there are LARGE periods of inactivity. Communication is a real problem. There is no communication between teams which leads to huge amounts of frustration when things do not work. The source code is abysmal. If you are an ambitious developer who wants to work with the latest and greatest in the software world, steer clear of this company.

Pros

Very good internship opportunities, with good compensation and freedom to develop ideas. Almost 200 internees are welcomed every year, most being employed full time after this first experience. However, salaries are good only if you come from a top university. Life in French Riviera is outstanding: beach during summer, skiing in winter. Many activities, sun 300 days per year, Cannes festival, Italy, Monaco, medieval villages, priceless cultural richness.

Cons

Outrageous salary differences depending on education. Promotions depend mostly on education, regardless of hard work and dedication (annual performance review for bonuses only, employees cannot give feedback on their management), with very few topdowns (once a year) and no horizontal communication (political wars between teams and divisions). Human resources completly absent after contract signature, thus no career development of employees. And forget about industry standards in development, everything must be inhouse technology.

Pros

Cab option and Free food.

Cons

Culture, Politics and Groupism. Recently changed dynamics, lot of silent layoffs. Employee centricity is only on books. Sometimes HRs and Management work against employees. Medical leaves denied. Employee feedback is used against them, rather work in it or discussing with employee.
