      Pros

      Good salary and benefits, pleasant working environment on campus in Basel.

      Cons

      Company run by bean counters with very short term finance focus. Poor management, dysfunctional in so many ways. Kings of complexity. Bureaucracy stifles all creativity. Incredibly hard to get anything meaningful done. People are mere numbers. Continuous focus on reducing headcount.
