Pros

No pros from my side

Cons

Cons only: - Director of Engineering + top leadership behave like politicians, not engineers - If you ask difficult questions in meetings, they mark you as "troublemaker" - Seen multiple good tech people fired without real reason within 6-12 months - Zero technical growth, only PowerPoint and marketing work gets priority - Tech folks treated like 2nd class citizens - Monopoly culture: one group controls everything, no real open discussion - Pathetic work-life balance hidden behind "prestigious brand" If you are a real engineer who likes coding and asking questions → run away.

Pros

Some of the smartest people you will ever meet work here.

Cons

Based in Switzerland, so the company brand in the US is less well known.
