      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent Worklife balance (40-50 hrs a week, no crunch-times) Professional, kind, and diverse workforce Good pay and benefits (mostly) Career advancement does exist Loyalty to the company seems to be rewarded Volunteer opportunities are available Career-related training is provided

      Cons

      Workpalce Safety and regulation is at a bare minimum to be legally compliant Career advancement path seems uncertain and non-linear High amount of bureaucratic and administrative work for a scientist (boring) Not a lot of vacation days - seems to be the absolute minimum. You have to work for the company for 5 years in order to get the time off that is standard for many other companies from day 1.

      Thank you for your review and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed working here. We pride ourselves on our flat hierarchy and the empowerment of our employees. We are of course very proud to be a Swiss company but with a presence in 101 countries we are also very international and we persevere with a global but local culture.
