Pros

Caring about people and mentoring of fresh graduates. Big focus on quality over time. Very wide array of projects, entities and geographies.

Cons

Very disparate culture, performance and leadership styles depending on "Legacy entity" : former Snecma group vs former Sagem group. Not international enough in terms of recruitment, management practices and senior leadership development track; Too much inertia and too vertical in terms of organisation and leadership: bottom-up feedback is virtually non-existant. If not french, top graduate schools are a bit underrated/undervalued: only l'X, Sup'Aero, Centrale Paris and HEC will be a serious advantage
