Business Outlook

Pros

Good work environment, plenty of facilities for employees, Swiss does take care of its employees very well, provided you get a good team and line manager it will be a very good learning experience

Cons

Very rigid top management, not open to new ideas, less pay, although the company and brand are good no use if you land up in a bad team. Because of people who are there in the company since forever there are not much growth opportunities, lots of internal politics and favouritism

Good benefits, no development

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, standard pay, relaxed atmosphere and very routinely work. Good work-life balance

Cons

No possibilities to grow in the company unless you are Swiss or American. If management believes you are introvert, forget about promotions. This is very ironic coming from one of the most introvert people in the world, the swiss. Decision taking can take ages.
