-MICROMANAGEMENT. Unheard of levels of micromanagement (yes, I checked with my network). Run away. It'll destroy your sleep, health, confidence in your work and yourself.
-Terrible managers. They make you waste 2-3h a week having you redo details again and again because they're control freaks. First time in my 10+ y tech career where managers refuse to test out new ideas or systems, simply because it's not their idea in the first place.
-Welcome to the tech grind. Crazy hours, understaffed teams, overstressed teams.
-Heavy hierarchy, surprising for tech. You don't get a say in anything.
-Most of the French team don't know how to work remotely and async, they never say pls or thank you or sorry. Big egos, refuse to hear different opinions.
-Async work only works when people give clear instructions. Most French staff don't bother. Their English is good. Their "I know better than you" attitude isn't.
-Convexity sounds great. In practice: "collaborative learning" = a big fat excuse for micromanagement. "Flexibleworking" = you'll work 15-20 hours extra per week. "Transparency" = managers criticizing your every move, even how you write your trello comments, often putting you down in public Trello comments. "Benevolence" = I've never worked with people (not all, but many) so mean and rude. Really disappointing.
-No "warm and fuzzy" here. Teams are polite, won't go out of their way to make you feel included. (maybe different in non-tech teams)
