Doesn't sound like a France vs US issue but more like a really shitty experience at a shitty company.

Yes, of course. Over the years I had a mostly positive experience with North American companies - I may be super biased here, but I prefer to work for these companies.

That's valid point. Just wanted to mention that it isn't necessarily fair to French companies to judge them by one bad apple.

Another side not, which probably doesn't apply here, but in general: Work culture is different everywhere. Not better or worse, but just different and coming into a company with the wrong expectations and behavior is probably a recipe for disaster.
