Pros

Schindler is still a rather well known, international company in the elevator and escalator industry. Schindler products can be found all over the globe and have visibility.

Cons

Recent cost cutting driven by the HQ and the new CEO. Cost cutting is highly undiffrentiated and creates a lot of tension within the organization. Overall unattractive work conditions which. New Group GM prefers to present himself in the local media to announce how close he is to the base/staff. However, this is highly hypocritical, especially in the light of recent cost savings whivh exclude top management. Oldfashioned corporate culture which still considers employees as human ressources instead of human capital.

Pros

Base salary is competitive, office environment is clean and organized, office location is nice and quiet, good colleagues. Work life balance can be manageable (at least in my function/team)

Cons

Health insurance is really bad (both in coverage and premium costs), multi national expectations of employees but mom and pop management style, seems like you have to be Swiss if you want to move up, too much politics in local upper management who love power plays, short term goals override everything else.
