Pros

Global company with plenty of opportunities to move around. There is much potential for growth even though they are dominant in their industries. Culturely diverse work environment employing people from various countries.

Cons

Global company that makes the workers work hard. Management is very tough and not very professional. If you work for headquarters in Geneva things are good, elsewhere are many agressive personalities (sharks) waiting to pounce on the weakest team or individual.

Pros

Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)

Cons

Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results. Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need. Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more. IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
