Business Outlook

Pros

- Awesome international team of scientists to work with. - The challenges you face day by day make you more resilient. - Good food at the canteen.

Cons

- Terrible company administration with most people speaking no foreign languages. - Turnover of (non-French) people is very high, mostly due to the bad treatment they get from the company. - Nowhere to live in the surroundings; if you can find something, it 's crazy expensive. - Salary after tax is very low, probably OK if you're single or your fiance also works.
