Pros

Relatively safe job if you suck up to the senior folks. Offices across the world.

Cons

Unfair top management mainly caring about their own benefits (compensation, travel rules). The so-called top management do not like to listen to negative reviews. If you ever feel you need to come clean with your supervisor, it will come with the risk of jeopardising your whole career as the backstabbing comes after that. Serious level of nepotism and favoritism promotes a feudal culture. Bad employee morale and clearly made to feel disposable. Total compensation (monetary & benefits) lies below market rate of what people make in large companies located around Luzern - Zug. They have been losing good people recent months due to unacceptable cost cutting for many employees and inflexibility. Trend continues due to staff demotivation and dissatisfaction.

Pros

It was ok in the beginning. Cushy benefits, solid 401k match, and adequate training period.

Cons

Starting salary is below average. Morale started to decline and did not feel supported by management. Work life balance started to suffer.
