Pros

There are no pros to this place.

Cons

Once you get hurt. You are terminated. And you well be left to pay for your own recovery and medical expenses. This is not employee friendly. I highly recommend not working here.

Pros

Large organization with a pretty good benefits package

Cons

The company is trying to grow its stock price by cutting costs/heads. At some point you cannot run a company with no people. There is a lot of favoritism towards ex-pats. It is difficult for women to break into the old boys club and be taken seriously.

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
