Pros

People care. Work life is emphasized as an important value. The longevity of the people who work there provide both stability and a testament to the environment. Global mobility is highly encouraged as you progress in the organization.

Cons

A bit of a slower pace as a Swiss-based company. Processes a bit thick to navigate.

Disengaged Workforce Lacking Empowerment

Pros

It has a flexible work schedule, work life balance, and great pay & benefits. The people are all very nice.

Cons

Constant transition and reorganization, lacking clear Roles & Responsibilities making it hard to hold anyone accountable to basic tasks. Performance based off of whether people like you since accountability is so hard to measure. Information regarding key projects/processes is not readily provided and hard to come by. Leadership lacking and no clear strategy which drives the culture of ambiguity. Poor quality outsourcing is common in the company and makes many processes and functions difficult and poorly run. The people that own the relationships with outsourcing appear to not really own – they do what the outsourced provider says instead of managing the vendor. No one seems to know how anything gets done. On paper the values and culture of the organization look good but it's not a culture of empowerment or inclusion. Feels a lot like the 1950s. There are many high paid employees that do basic administrative work because of lack of empowerment.
