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.
