Pros
Can't think of anything that isn't offered at any other public company
Cons
Turnover has to be north of 25%, layoffs to make Budget from France are part of the culture, your job will never be safe. Same goes for the amount of firings that take place, from my experience I got the feeling that a sacrificial firing was demanded by Paris leadership anytime something went wrong. Don't expect a raise over 2%, and your bonus will be completely based on whether your group makes your unrealistic budget. Expect to work overtime/late nights, hazing, and a hostile work environment. Even people you work with (not under), anyone who is still there has embodied the culture. Some good examples: If you're on vacation and something goes wrong while you are out, expect a meeting to b scheduled during your trip for the first morning back. You may be pressured to make accruals to meet earnings one month, and then have to explain why you missed earnings the next month when the accrual reverses. Turnover is so bad they caught on and won't even vest your 401k until your 3rd year.
