Pros

It is so big people can easily find niches and stay there forever. Not surprisingly, the company is full of people that either (a) have spent a couple, max three years as employee or (b) are there since "the Epoch" but nothing in between (either you leave early or stay forever). I have met consultants who spent 20 (yes twenty!!!) years working there as contractors.

Cons

Full of French politics. All top management is French :-)

Pros

It’s a job that pays money

Cons

Management, consistency in brown nosing, HR and all management will work together or target individuals if you don’t brown nose or try to move up before someone that does
