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
