- The atmosphere among employees is good. - technical skills are tested during the application process (almost too simple, but it's there) - the number of working hours is not strictly respected: as long as the product is delivered on time, we won't come spying to see if you're working tirelessly. - open to discussion if you want to leave early, work on a different percentage, etc... which explains the seniority of some senior staff - a good opportunity for some to *start* their career, or resume it after a break/holiday/...

- Management needs improvement. The team is run by people who don't care about the well-being of their employees, and who like to play the good cop/bad cop role to get their own way. - The scope for employees to propose changes is almost non-existent: it's very complicated for an improvement/change to be considered. - Trust in employees is unfortunately non-existent. The team is led by certain key people who are not prepared to challenge themselves. - Communication is not very transparent: you learn more from the gossip than from your superiors. Or at least, you learn from them too late. - Employees are treated differently: the more reserved are more targeted. - Be sure to discuss the conditions of hybrid telecommuting during the interview, and what the hated "support" represents - rules requiring at least X number of people on site, making it impossible to take the Y days of telecommuting allowed per week. When colleagues are on vacation, it's even worse (for example, at Christmas, some will have to spend the day on site, unnecessarily). - The pace is very slow, and very dependent on the contracts acquired with the big partner companies: you can get bored at times. - code practices are not the most recent (very old codebase, project-dependent python 2.7, non-existent dev documentation, non-existent agile practices, etc.) - the majority of (non-managerial) employees don't last long, and leave on their own after a while. - opportunities for pay rises are slim: negotiate well at the outset, or watch as some of your colleagues are paid as good as or better than you, even though they are catastrophically bad.
