Pros

People are generally great to work with, regardless of location they are from. Flexible work schedule and location (personally, my schedule is a four day work week and three of those are from home, and have been able to work from 1,000 miles away for a month each of the last two winters).

Cons

Compensation in recent years has not reflected corporate success. For calendar years 2011-2015 company has averaged nearly $3.9b in net income ($2.6b, $4.2b, $4.4b, $3.5b, and $4.6b) yet after the last three of those years the company has given 0% salary increase and bonuses have decreased annually.

Pros

There is a good Work flexibility with Good work/life balance. It's a relatively low stress work environment. Lots of smart people in Zurich

Cons

Company has made a lot of money in the last 5 years but there have been no raises and bonuses have been slowly decreasing over the years. In addition there is no career development unless your in Zurich. Instead they give $7/share dividend to shareholders which benefits senior management.
