Pros

Annual trip as part of a global conference, but this depends on your location. You don't get to travel if the conference is held where your office is based. Slightly less red tape than other established brands when it comes to trying new ways to get work done.

Cons

Adding responsibilities 2-3 grade levels beyond your actual scope to your plate under the guise of a "stretch project" and "growth", but refuse to give you the grade/title/pay that should come with it. Promotions based on politics > work that has actually been done. Salaries below the average industry level. Little to no growth opportunities. No accountability for toxic behaviour if it's coming for people in leadership roles. A lot of talk about wanting to invest in growth of the people there, but no actual action. No acknowledgement of managers having a huge part in whether someone receives growth opportunities - instead puts 100% responsibility on the employee under "own your own development" tag lines.

Great brand, shaky foundations.

Pros

The day-to-day people I worked with were lovely.

Cons

It was a very difficult place to find enjoyment and fulfillment at work, despite the people being really nice. Every team seems understaffed, with little to no effective control of work. Lots of pressure to do more and more with less each year. Decision-making is performative and not impactful on known issues. Leadership layers don't understand the workload of those beneath them, and burnout/overwork is very commonplace.

Toxic work environment

Pros

Mountains are a train ride away.

Cons

This company sources naive and dreaming employees from out of Switzerland on purpose. They know you’ll give it all to uproot and relocate, and stay invested because of the huge commitment to live in Switzerland, hence making it hard to challenge the toxic and horrible work environment, mistreatment and disrespect of employees, and condescending attitudes. This workplace will erode your spirit, listen to your gut during their disrespectful and self centered interview/onboarding process.
