Pros

- Young team members - At that time, support through management was great (now I can't say, as there have been changes....)

Cons

- Management in Germany (cultural issues with Switzerland) - Sometimes a bit too KPI driven - Not very international environment (mostly CH and DE people, no sole english speakers)

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
