Short term focus seems to be the only strategy

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

International company with great opportunities to change roles regularly and build a broad knowledge. Exciting and successful products, including pipeline.

Cons

The management is currently focused on achieving too ambitious quarterly results, and forgets about quality and longer term vision. For instance they are letting 600 employees go in Switzerland, including high potential people and key non senior jobs. Senior Management has been completely spared the pain.

work-life balance company with poor HR practices

Business Outlook

Pros

People, flexibility, culture, some additional benefits

Cons

Poor HR and management practices, not consistent: depends whether you are in or out of the group. If you are in, then there will be no limit for your growth, but if you are, don't even bother. Move out and find something else.
