Please avoid at any cost. Interns beware!

Pros

Beyond the all french management, the people who work here are decent folks. But mostly all very young and inexperienced. But that's intentional (cheap labor).

Cons

ALL of upper management at D3 and Conects, are French, so you have some cultural and language barriers. The CEO is a decent guy. But you won't ever interact with him beyond a passing hello. The head of H/R is awesome. That's about the only positive thing about this company. No respect for work life balance. Typical work day was 8:30 am to 6:30-7:00 pm EVERYDAY. No coffee. No snacks. Free Water from a filtered tap water cooler. The health benefits are terrible. Are they even contributing? I can get a comparable non-company plan on the health-insurance marketplace for the amount I pay per paycheck! The salary is very below industry standard for any position. I have never seen a penny of a 401k contribution from them! They are huge on hiring outsourced minimum wage help. Almost their entire factory staff are unskilled temps from agencies. They have a preference in employing student-visa workers who accept extremely below average pay. Some departments (like tech) comprise of 99% Indian visa students, except for management. They are big on hiring interns as mentioned above - in order to exploit the free to low cost labor. If you are an intern, do not work here. You will be slaved! Zero job security. This is not a role for anyone looking for a long term gig or career. And if you don't speak french, you are nothing more than a temp to them, even at full-time salaried. One day you're doing amazing things, the next day you're gone.

Pros

Decent Compensation and some great exposure to a lot of different technologies.

Cons

Most of the senior management are French Ethnocentrists, they are closed-minded and are non-receptive to new ideas. Many of the senior managers are simply unprofessional, both in their speech and behavior, some have poor hygiene, there exists racist attitudes and beliefs. Furthermore, there is very little dialogue across departments, and this lack of communication creates tension and presents problems as concerns the daily operations. Too focused on preserving the status-quo, which has already limited their growth. They have a niche market cornered however, and this is why the limitations of their faulty mindset has not impacted their bottom line yet. Moving forward, It will most likely catch up with them.
