      If you are starting out - this would be a great place to get corporate training, as long as you don't mind the hours.

      Pros

      I must say that CIBA has a great benefits package, especially if you or your dependents are contact lens wearers. They also have an above average 401k matching program.

      Cons

      Extremely long hours and no work/life balance opportunities. I say long hours because in Accounting/Finance - you can work 50+ hours over 3 days during month end close. Depending on the position, you may be expected to take your laptop with you during vacation and everyone in management has your cell number in case there is a question during month end close. Thankfully my latest call was at 11:30 pm at home, on a Saturday evening. My co-worker was requested to call me at that time to assist with a project. This was not during month end close.
