Pros

International company present in 80+ countries Recognized "brand" with acceptable image except in France due to Syria investigation Adequate financials and a solid company but... how long will this last? Please read below

Cons

New management (CEO/CFO) is overhauling/dismantling the Group as announced with 400mCHF cost-reduction to the markets: This is the yardstick and only priority with which the company is currently led... The new leadership is completely clueless about long-term strategy Many key employees at Corporate leaving or have already left, along with their experience and industry knowledge: These senior people are not being replaced causing long-term risks and loss of know-how. General work atmosphere has significantly deteriorated since beginning 2018: Management by fear & politics rather than experience & competence Zero communication/interaction by the new leadership team
