Swiss Reign + Massive Change + New Site = Chaos
Pros
Company has been doing well over the last few years (at the expense of it's people). Lots of money being made and the company shares. Bonuses have been +100% of target...as much as 180% in 2018. Benefits are par for the market in their cost-sharing model. Company is trying to dominate the CMO market. Stock is doing well. If you're an experienced worker, you can get PAID! Lots of sign-on bonuses being thrown around. Lots of attention being paid in Houston with the new facility there. Some new management being added that don't have a clue.
Cons
Employees are overworked! They are working long days, nights and weekends to keep up with the demand. Swiss leadership constantly swooping in to churn up the business. The leadership here is ALWAYS right. I had a situation where I filed a grievance against a leader and despite the grievance saying the company admitted fault they ultimately sided with the business leader. This is CONSTANTLY happening. Those people in Basel sit on their high paid thrones and yell commands across the world. There's one lady who spends +200 nights a year in hotels and NOBODY knows what she does. People using systems and technology that is outdated and difficult to manage. Folks constantly have to make due with these things and work around them. Many people leaving on top of the abundance of positions they are constantly hiring. No equity stock for employees who are lower than "Director" level, based on what I know. We've heard bits and pieces of favoritism and bias, especially with the Swiss. The Basel office there lacks cultural diversity. They are always moving talent from EU to USA and never the other way around, for development. Some management are not seen favorably in the USA by significant industry figures, causing a lack of confidence in delivery.
