Pros

It is so big people can easily find niches and stay there forever. Not surprisingly, the company is full of people that either (a) have spent a couple, max three years as employee or (b) are there since "the Epoch" but nothing in between (either you leave early or stay forever). I have met consultants who spent 20 (yes twenty!!!) years working there as contractors.

Cons

Full of French politics. All top management is French :-)

Employees often have opportunities to move between roles, departments, and even countries. The company also provides structured learning through its internal training programs

Decision-making can be slow because multiple approvals are often required.
