Pros

Although a bit noisy, the office in Neuhausen is quite nice. You can walk by the Rhine at lunch time. You can pretend to be working. It is a lot easier than doing real work. You don't have to work long hours, but it is important to show that you are there long hours. Your presence and flatteries are a lot more important than your efficiency. Agco is definitely not a US company on that respect.

Cons

The company is very disorganised and the multiple data systems are not reliable. Top management in the Swiss headquarter is conspicuous by it mediocrity. Despite having a big and costly strategy department filled with internal consultants, Agco has no strategy. Most top managers have no clue what goes on and they don't want to know. Don't expect any support from these top guys. They are more interested in their paycheck and bonus than the rest. The most incompetent employees usually get promoted.
