Pros

With the exception of leadership, it's a really fun, young and diverse staff that speak a ton of languages. You will meet some really interesting people. The parties are fun if you like to drink

Cons

Literally everything. - Leadership is just friends of the CEO. They are unqualified. - No one knows what they're doing, and this will probably get you fired. Few people in lead positions have any actual experience or training for their role. The ones that do usually quit, or get fired if they don't go along with management's harebrained ideas/sleep with someone in mgmt/ask too many questions. - Sexual harassment is a MAJOR issue, and two employees have been accused of rape. Do yourself a favor and translate the French reviews. The CEO knows. He doesn't really care. - You're looked down on if you don't work late. Management frequently gives speeches about working an extra 10-15 hours a week. - The benefits are a joke. You have to earn vacation, then get in trouble if you go on vacation. Actually taking time off is frowned upon. - The sales team needs a complete overhaul. People in the sales department get fired constantly. They get scared when they know leadership is coming from France because they know someone will get let go. Commissions are now called bonuses so that leadership doesn't have to pay them to sales if they don't want to. - Client success team is burnt out; they can't keep up with all the mistakes the company makes - Photo editing team isn't allowed to work from home, so nobody is allowed to work from home. People come in sick a lot because the leave policy is so bad, and because you are shamed if you take time off. - Operations team is always trying to make up for all the lies the sales team is told to tell clients - People get fired for not having enough "Meero spirit" - Snacks are kept in a locked closet and distributed occasionally, leading people to hoard. Just offer snacks or don't, or pay people enough to buy their own snacks and pay their rent at the same time.

Pros

You'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced photographers, gaining hands-on experience and insights into the industry. This can be a great way to develop your skills and build a strong foundation for your career.

Cons

As an assistant, you might have minimal creative input. Your tasks may be more focused on supporting the lead photographer rather than exercising your own artistic vision.

Pros

Actually none, hence the 1 star

Cons

The most clueless senior leadership you're likely to find. Already surpassed by the competition after just a couple years.
