Pros

Working at SGS is like being part of a global family, where your team is typically spread across time zones. If you like foreign cultures, this is the place to work. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Too much decision-making is centralised in Geneva, not enough in the regional hubs. Sales + marketing teams need to work closer together.
