      Pros

      I was working in the SSC in Fribourg and I could really learn a lot about the industry and its processes. The environment was relaxing and friendly

      Cons

      The company seems not to invest on talent and does not so much to retain it. The career progress depends mainly on your seniority not on your skills. Lack of communication across the company. The affiliates and sometimes the departmens do not talk among each other.

      Pros

      Interesting work, nice work place, trees, ducks, and fish.

      Cons

      Everybody only is concerned about himself and making their manager look good no matter what it takes and at the expense of others. Lies are prevalent, surveys are meaningless, turnover in mgmt frequent. People are humiliated in front of others by sr mgmt. Raises have been very low in the past few years for most employees. Company direction seems to be off balance.
