* Zero career progression based on merit, promotions are mostly on paper and the actual salary increases are almost non existent - when colleagues compare their salaries, oftentimes you have recently hired juniors earning 95% as seniors with 2 years in the office;
* They pay below market rate and managers will openly tell you that they will not raise your salary despite you having very good performance evaluations, and they tell you they will only do so if you bring an offer from a competitor company to threaten them to match the offer or you leave;
* Zero transparency on office policy - HR is never open about anything and are always trying to manipulate and pressure employees, as if employees aren't able to easily realize this is the case;
* Management is very fake and is always pushing internal propaganda (e.g. they like to give the impression that they are very pro-female but when they have events on diversity, the main speaker is the office manager: a 50yo white french man);
* Porto management is basically a proxy for Paris management, they have no power on anything and they are there to enforce what Paris management tells them;
* Employees that have very good performances are often stopped from progressing or changing projects because they don't want to risk having to hire a replacement, and they do this without raising the pay for those same employees;
* They want to pass the image that they are somehow very committed to innovate technologies but they are extremely classical and conservative - they never support initiatives for new internal projects while doing conferences about innovation iniciates (that don't exist) - they only want operational tasks done and creativity is often frowned upon.
