Svantaggi
-Elitist and somewhat nepotistic environment in the Paris office, with several hires coming from the same schools/promotions (ex SciencesPo, HEC) or being friends with current employees. Very evident in the marketplace team, for example. -In some teams, management is too directive and not listening to suggestions, prompting people to leave. -Limited progression chances in some Paris teams, leading to high turnover. -At times, lack of structure and competencies, miscommunications amongst teams (« it’s not my perimeter » attitude, no “homework” before asking things). -Very silent work environment. It doesn’t have the buzz of a start-up. -Difference of treatment persists amongst FTEs and contractors (especially on the social perspective).
