Business Outlook
Pros
Experience is a plus on CV, as far as Oerlikon is a welknown company (at least in Switzerland) and dealing with high tech products. There is some good people there that you can learn a lot from. Very differentiated segments of business, which gives the chance to learn a lot about dos and don'ts at corporation life.
Cons
Difficult to mangage corporation tasks within subs, as far as quite decentralized management. Segments are not always cooperative with HQ. Huge fluctuation of personnel in HQ and also Segments makes work difficult, as far as even mid term knowledge is often gone. Finally, extrem cuts of headcounts lead not rarely to quick and dirty work by the remaining ones, and huge fees to external consultants...
