Pros

Very well-established company. Funds for projects. Great benefits. Great variety of positions and metiers within the company.

Cons

Old-school: the company's long history makes it stiff. You need a diploma from X, ENS or HEC to have access to high positions. Managers are very bright ex-students basically. Promotions should be more based on merit. It's a shame since there is so much diversity among the 100,000+ employees.

Pros

American managers do their best to create a good culture.

Cons

You have to be French to succeed or move up. And you aren't highly regarded if you don't speak French.
