      Pros

      French presence means on average, people feel comfortable actually using the unlimited PTO. In-office vibes are good. Hybridly located organizations actually work pretty well, for the most part. Internal mobility program is great. I've actually found that HR really advocates for individual workers too. Overtime, compensation has gotten better.

      Cons

      Your experience varies a ton depending on the team and organization, especially if you're a manager. Level one EMs here can be tech leads or pure people managers. It seems very, very stressful to be a PM here. There are some pretty non-rigorous practices when it comes to design and product. For example, we hire a ton of designers without any UX or market research capabilities who override PM decisions. Retirement matches for US seem underdeveloped.

      Pros

      Exciting growth stage of company can be appealing

      Cons

      Very toxic leadership, bleeding down the chain. Lack of clear direction and guidance from management, resulting in the fault lying with ICs False sense of security and ultimately for anyone thinking of joining, be aware to rely on yourself and manage your work strategically around metrics, even if told otherwise
