Vantaggi
Met nice people, very warm lab people but colder commercial people
Svantaggi
Not promoted/hired based on merit/appropriate qualifications, very biased (almost always based on who they know), a lot of French people, previous head was French, some French interns were even flown in because of their connection with the boss and paid 3-4 times as much for the same work. Apparent social gap between locals and foreigners/expats, incompetent bosses. Poor career progression and very very tight headcount, some graduates (some with master degrees) intern for a very long time without proper benefits before finally converting. Environment is also very political. Bosses are reluctant to accept your medical/hospitalisation leave, which I think is sickening because health should not be taken lightly.
