Pros

Relatively safe job if you suck up to the senior folks. Offices across the world.

Cons

Unfair top management mainly caring about their own benefits (compensation, travel rules). The so-called top management do not like to listen to negative reviews. If you ever feel you need to come clean with your supervisor, it will come with the risk of jeopardising your whole career as the backstabbing comes after that. Serious level of nepotism and favoritism promotes a feudal culture. Bad employee morale and clearly made to feel disposable. Total compensation (monetary & benefits) lies below market rate of what people make in large companies located around Luzern - Zug. They have been losing good people recent months due to unacceptable cost cutting for many employees and inflexibility. Trend continues due to staff demotivation and dissatisfaction.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good learning curve in the beginning. Lots of experienced people to learn from. Lots of potential projects if you communicate with the right people. Also lots of opportunities across departments.

Cons

After about 6 months, the work becomes repetitive and mentoring ends. At this point you need to teach yourself anything you want to learn.
