Pros

In general, a good ambiance. People are very nice in the Wissous office and you get the feeling that they take good care of their own. The work requires both software and, to some extent, hardware knowledge which makes things more interesting. There is a lot to learn.

Cons

Technologies used are old. Mature industry. Limited scope in emulation.
