Should you think about working at HEC Paris: Don't even think about it

Here's my Jobinion

Imagine working for an MBA program where your "boss" has no formal education. I have a masters degree in marketing coupled with over 12 years of business development and marketing experience. My "boss" had no formal education and sees MBA students as spoiled brats and was just recently a "secretary". Apparently the dean has a PhD in English or Poetry...how does that appropriately qualify one to hire the right people or deploy a business program? The biggest problem with HEC Paris is that it is semi-public. Many employees are "titulaires" meaning once they obtain that status they cannot be fired: they have little or no incentive to progress let alone act professionally. In my position it appears I was the 8th person in the last 6 years. That's shockingly bad statistic in France where people value job security. HEC Paris offered by far the least professional environment I have ever worked in - and that is shocking for a business school. Just goes to show that Financial Times rankings are a sham.
