      Pros

      Good fringe benefits. If a good regular pay check is all you need to be happy - then this is the place for you!

      Cons

      If you are looking for personal growth and meaningful career progress & recognition - then this is the wrong company. Reasons: 1. Zurich central/Heavy politics: This is a very Zurich-centered company. Everything is steered by the Swiss and some Germans in the top management. Heavy politics and lots and lots of opportunists. Most people are just happy with their high pay-check and just shut up. 2. Career limits: Female leaders are almost non-existent in the top management, and if there is any - it is only caucasians. It is difficult to climb up above director level unless you are Swiss/German. They are talking about Diversity for over 10 yrs and still no progress. Most of the employees are middle aged white men. 3. Bonus distribution & annual rating can be unfair, as everything is left to the line manager's decision.
