Kontras
- less start-up minded that it was 3 years ago when I joined due to over hiring during the covid period, which negatively impacted the culture in the French Office - lacking sales culture: sales processes, sales methodology, insights on differentiators and competitive situation. I recommend to have experience - Deal with ambiguity, AWS is an ambiguous environment with numerous conflicting goals and it is not made for everyone - No prez clubs, perks below market standards - A bit of politics is needed, like in any company
