Pros

They have a high turnover and a terrible reputation in France, as a consequence they have dire difficulties recruiting good profiles. This translates to being an "advantage" internally in the sense that you can get promoted to silly titles pretty fast due to shortage of senior recruitment, boosting your career at the cost of your sanity.

Cons

Disclaimer: I'm one of those that had a (much) better situation than most. Those that have it worst just suffer in silence, they don't come to Glassdoor to vent. I however wanted to take the time to warn those that want to apply: - Toxic, immature and incompetent management (they tick most lines in the book, really there is no need to even make a list, just imagine something terrible, it's probably right) - Morally and ethically bankrupt (both towards employees and players) - Creatively bankrupt despite the many talents in there. These talents are rarely in a position of power. - A lot of inexperienced but talented people get eaten and spat out by that monster of a company. They arrive fresh, impassioned and willing, and within a year they invariably turn into zombies that come to work to cash in the paycheck and grind experience in the industry. They become devoid of passion, don't care about the company nor the project, and just go in "let's tough it out" mode while making snarks about it all in private to "process the pain". Sometimes for years on until they explode in midair.

Pros

This is a company with interesting projects, lots of talented people and plenty of variety in work to grow.

Cons

The place is slowly turning into a boiling pot from a variety of reasons from outside and inside. You may be lucky and do the interesting parts on this projects, but you can also be unlucky to deal with increasingly difficult problems the company has.
