Pros

They pay above market rate. If you want to retire then the location in the south of France is lovely. The atmosphere is laid back.

Cons

The technology is old and the idea of upgrading never precedes beyond talk. No architecture, design or thought goes into the software so it is a mess. Communication is astonishingly bad, both from sales to development, from managers to works and even between teams that are sitting beside each other. There is more interest in playing politics and blame than fixing anything. Management are clueless and seem unwilling or unable to do anything useful.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
