What a deception as an insider

Pros

Very profitable and global company (presence in 70 countries, 40% of total revenues in the new economies) Can offer a long-life career for those who fit the DNA of the company

Cons

Autocratic management that hampers diversity in minds and actions and leads to inefficient politic games Showcasing long working hours (7am-10pm) is a must and a necessity considering endless and inefficient meetings (old-fashioned management style, still ruled by strict hierarchy rather than collaborative relationships, thus impeding the contribution of each individual - awkwardly French from the past century!) Overall low qualified managers as a consequence of a low training policy: seniority privileged over skills - patience will be rewarded more than talent
