Pros

The compensation is fine, vacation is generous and the bonuses are generally good. There is even a stock program and they uplift by 30%. they contribute 12% to your 6% on the 401(k).

Cons

If you are not based in Switzerland management opportunities in IT are limited. Also the Swiss are quite nepotistic and money-centric. They promote each other and try to keep as much spending in Switzerland as possible. Even when traveling, Swiss (Air) is the 'preferred' airline. Our stock plan is hosted by UBS. It just kind of funny.
