      Pros

      My group was great. The culture was great. Things could be better if middle and upper management got to know their employees on a personal level.

      Cons

      Some of the challenges was a lack of resources, training and professional development.

      Engineers think twice

      Process engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company employs mostly talented and motivated people. The work atmosphere is friendly and mostly cooperative. The company seems to be on a good growth path (not as good as announced to the press).

      Cons

      Pay and benefits for process engineers in switzerland are not best in class - far from it. Struggled to get any founding for external training training has a cost and the company was not happy to support this (may be this was due to my manager - rather than the company). The company is trying to switch into growth mode after a long period of reduction of its manufacturing and engineering footprint. However there is a spread mentality (in particular across senior managers) of cost containment and cost killing - which means the human resources needed are often not hired - or the people hired have no experience on the topic. As a result lots of projects are being launched without the necessary people and skills available to support the execution - this leasds to poor decisions and endless problems. After a while this became too frustrating for me.
