Pros

Flexible remote work policies Good 401k employer matching

Cons

Stale culture influenced by French labour laws in the headquarter office leading to too many people that say 'That's not my job' or 'That's not how we do it'. People seem to prioritize policies and politics over actual real results and objectives. Dearth of innovation and flexible thinking. Bureaucratic yet fragmented policies and procedures. Not much of a collegial culture outside of the France offices.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
