Good overall - Avis employé Software Engineer Inria

lots of good teams; interesting research; lots of vacation

salary is not great compared to private labs

There are few good employee and nothing else

Toxic environment, jealous and not collaborative. I have witnessed research engineers and PhD students fired for no reason just because of personal conflict. The administration keep the back of the permanent staff and their dirty actions. They pretend to be democratic, however, this is a fake face, it was indeed horrible experience and there isno freedom to experiment. However, it may depend from one location to another and from one director to another, but there is no laws. What freaked me out is that they are thieves, yes, the employees themselves are thieves, although they have security, they can still steal each other, of course there are few fraction who still have conscience.
