Pros

Excellent working environments with good benefits. Nice and respectful colleagues and management. Francois is a great leader.

Cons

Taking initiatives is not always rewarded. You need to swim in your own lane. Role and responsibilities are not well defined which causes people to fight for ownership of some areas while other have no owners. Too many meetings. Not enough decision makers. The Line of Business are not realistic on timeline which causes all the project schedule to slide at minimum 3 times.
