Great culture if you like to sell

Media manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely comfortable work environment, with great perks (free food, free sports, family support, etc.), full work flexibility, good balance between pro/perso lives. Strong caring culture. No micro management.

Cons

Very salesy company where every action you make needs to have a ROI. Challenging quotas make you think about your target at all times. And success brings to higher quotas, so it is endless, quarter after quarter. You need to be more salesy than really smart. Paris is a small office, no easy evolution, except if you move to Dublin.
