Vantaggi
I joined Descartes at a particularly exciting stage - the moment when you’re adding a new stage to the rocket: scaling up fast, but doing it on top of very solid foundations, while staying true to our DNA.
The founders bring deep, externally recognized experience in their fields. They provide clear direction, and each has well-defined areas of ownership and expertise — which means we’re not in a setup where everything depends on a single person. It feels structured, mature, and built for long-term success.
Pros:
• Talented and humble people across the board
• Many experts have joined, which makes sense given our current growth phase
• Truly cosmopolitan culture — definitely not a “French-only” company!
• Attractive and fair compensation, well aligned with the market
• Overall a very positive employee experience, with an office life
• The company is in good shape and performing well
• The work is interesting and intellectually rewarding.
Svantaggi
None that stand out — like any fast-growing company, things move quickly, so it’s important to be adaptable.
