Pros

Working in such a big company, you can learn a great set of skills and experience professional growth with hard work. Knowing French would help with career growth. Great benefits. 14 days PTO to start then about 2 days increments every few years with carry over. Pays for education, has profit sharing.

Cons

Working in such a big company could also inhibit your career growth if you don't show your skills or make the right contacts within the company. Don't be shy! Again, learning French or having similar influences will help with career growth.

Pros

The place is ran like a big public pharma company. But a bit understaffed to really hit the mark. So it has a very corporate feel or people trying very hard to reach that mark.

Cons

Very Geneva management oriented. All the top management is in Switzerland, and it's very hard to advance to those levels if you are not there
