Business outlook
Pros
Job stability and low expectations, especially for low performers. Cannot expect the French government to let a national champion fail. Fun perks, like coupons/gift cards/swags that come out of nowhere.
Cons
No words can describe the bureaucracy! I thought my hiring manager was joking until I had to deal with the IT and purchasing bureaucracies. Past your third month and they become demoralizing esp. if you're a high achiever. Research organization loves meetings & campaigns that are dominated by people who love to hear themselves talk. The science is definitely subpar vs. PFE, MRK, Lilly, or Novartis.
