Pros

Good pay, benefits, hours, perks etc. All of those things were great.

Cons

The people are snobby and egotistical. Politicking with jerks is the easiest way to succeed.

Pros

Great flexibility, good work life, pay and benefits good. Nice focus on patients. Campus organized and structured. Big focus lately on career growth and engagement.

Cons

Lots of reorganizations. Unclear CEO direction. Pipeline needs some structure. A lot banking on a few compounds. Hoping CEO and team can provide vision soon.

high pay but unstable

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits above market average. Office centrally located near train station and local facilities. Close to Zug lake for lunchtime walks if you can find the time.

Cons

Culture dominated by USA corporate headquarters which can be difficult going for staff with European culture. Very high workload and long hours (no time stamping). Hire/fire culture with poor job stability - layoffs every few years as well as frequent firing of single individuals. Many semi-compulsory evening / late night meetings with USA. Reputation for giving unfair work references to leavers. Very limited car parking.
