Pluspunten

- If you're lucky enough to be a part of a team that is in the e teams good graces, you have the chance to tackle some interesting problems. - Many smart engineers, though not all a pleasure to work with; a competitive culture is seemingly encouraged due to stack ranking

Minpunten

- Boys club - promotions are based off of who you know rather than what you do - Given the layoffs / reorgs, WLB has taken a massive hit to fill the gaps - Morale hit from various layoffs & reorgs still lingers, and doesn't seem to be getting any better. - Career progression outside of the boys club is nigh impossible, the best you can do is a lateral move if it's even possible. - Inconsistencies in criteria promotions across teams, even though roles are supposedly normalise across the company

Good salary, thats about it

Minpunten

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
