OP doesn't mention if it is a connection or self-transfer nor with which airline.
I confirm jetbridge and front door is the norm, but one thing to note is that the terminal is done in such a way that if boarding is in progress at a gate between the deboarding BA gate and exit, sometimes, you'll be blocked for several minutes in the disembarkation corridor as a result because paths would cross otherwise. In my view, this and a few other things don't make CDG too great a place for connections (let alone transfers/self transfers) where "every minute counts.
