Pros

Great benefits, good salary, facilities in Basel are fantastic including Gym, swimming pool, modern buildings, etc...

Cons

Too much of an alignment culture. Decision making is slow and requires many meetings and "pre-alignments" with multiple stakeholders.

Pros

There are limited pros to working here in my experience. There are possibilities for international assignments or projects- though assignments for growth are given based on favouritism not competence. Some individuals are friendly depending on your luck and some flexibility is provided for work hours (depending on team and manager).

Cons

The company culture is plagued by favoritism, incompetence, and a toxic atmosphere of gossip and bullying, leading to high turnover and limited professional growth. This insular environment fosters a lack of broader industry knowledge among staff. This is dependent on the team however this is my first hand experience. In my entire career I have never worked in such a toxic environment.
