Pros

- Good place to start making experience; - As a fresh graduate, opportunity to grow, learn and get to know various customers/business domains; - Opportunity to join as a consultant and experience working in (few) interesting companies; - As a foreigner, opportunity to enter the region and learn the language; - If interested in social events, afterworks (sports, dinners and similar)

Cons

- Low salary and growth; - Undefined career path (mostly managerial/business); - Poor to no technical career path (especially in IT); - Pure consulting: few to no internal projects, mostly body rental (except few good customers that you can join, few interesting other customers/projects); - Specific to french agencies: even if not formally needed, french language becomes soon mandatory: most of the available clients are french speaking only; the real advantages of consultancy (change often, try many interesting projects) are this way lost, if not able to quickly catch up with the language; - Difficult to be listened and helped in case of real issues; cannot easily change mission if not liked, money come first; - Poor care and consideration of the employees; not human-centric; - Often illogical decision are taken against the interest of employees (often forcing them); - Micromanagement, and unnecessary heavy managerial structure (lots of paperwork, lots of approvals, lots of project managers to report to, resulting in unnecessary and frustrating situations, and also difficulties in taking initiatives or improving efficiency and growth); - Poor company culture;

Pros

Working at this company has been a truly positive experience for me. It’s a place where I’ve been able to learn and develop my skills, and I really appreciate that they invest in my growth by paying for my certifications. I’m also involved in special projects with high added value, which has had a strong impact on my career development. What makes the biggest difference for me is the way they support me as a mom. Having the option to work remotely when needed is extremely important, and it’s something we rarely find elsewhere. I’ve never felt judged for being a mother—quite the opposite. They understand my responsibilities at home while ensuring that the client is always satisfied. This balance means a lot to me, and it makes me feel valued both as an employee and as a person. Overall, I’m truly grateful to be part of a company that invests in my future, trusts me with meaningful work, and respects my personal needs.

Cons

Due to the global economic situation, salary increases and bonuses have been impacted.
