IBM

Working as a contractor for ten years, I was very well treated. I was allowed to work from home when I wanted. The most important thing for management was that I did a good job.

Working in France as a contractor, the social charges are enormous. This isn't IBM's fault but a problem with a socialist country and government.

Also, not an IBM problem, but to build a career in France, you need to be in Paris. There is a very central view of companies in France.

I've had very good experiences with the management of IBM France. I have contracted with other companies, Amadeus being one of them, and was treated very differently as a contractor. IBM management treated me as a professional, so I have nothing but good things to report.
