Pros

Salary is higher than in other companies that hire interns in France.

Cons

Projects are usually not interesting. Lots of teams are just maintaining some old products without implementing any new features.

When it comes to new products, the policy is often to do "as well" as the competitors.

Innovation is the last concern of this company. For that matter, this company is more a "sale" company than an "engineering" company. Indeed, the most important thing is to sell, no matter what the product is or who the customer is.

The management is really old school: the managers basically take all the decisions without really consulting the developers/engineers. It should also probably be said that most (~80%) of the high-level managers/architects are German.

Lots of people who work here (Paris office) think they are smarter than what they really are.

Advice to Management

Hire more scientists.

Put some money and involvement into your R&D. Hire more young and fresh minds.
