Professional growth and personal fulfillment
Continuous learning and development
Every year we allocate time and funding for everyone’s growth in both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills. Whether you want to learn coding in a new language, or welding, or improve your presentation skills, everyone will benefit from an individual training program.
Language program
Our day-to-day language of communication is English, but we offer French classes to facilitate our international team’s integration in France. We also offer English classes to those who want to improve it, or third languages to those already fluent in both French and English.
What Grenoble has to offer
Innovation, Nature, and International Living
We are based in the French Alps, a fantastic region for outdoor sports like hiking, skiing, rock climbing, mountaineering, cycling — you name it. Our team members coming from all over the world will gladly share your passion for these activities.
Grenoble is home to numerous universities (e.g. Grenoble INP–UGA, GEM, etc.) , research labs (e.g. CEA, CNRS, Minatec, etc.), and deep-tech startups, attracting international talent. As a result, if you’re considering moving here with your family, you’ll find several international schools for children of all ages — from kindergarten to high school.
The cost of living — particularly housing — is very affordable compared to larger cities. Rent is over 50% lower than in Paris or Munich, and 70% lower than in Geneva.
