Pros

It's a great company to work for when it comes to compensation and benefits. The management direction at this time due to senior management turn over so only time will tell how thiongs will turn out. If the company starts making decent profits again then it will continue to be a great place to work. There is a move to reduce head count at this time.

Cons

The company is reducing head count so it's very stressfull right now. The management structure is primarily based in Zurich and it seems they are not really in touch with their US based employees. It's sometimes very difficult to get things done with no local decision making authority.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
