Pros

Benefits are pretty good and they tend to pay a little more than above market rates. The work is certainly challenging and interesting. The Geneva office tends to act as the hub for most of their locations given that their platform is run from there.

Cons

Quite chaotic working with a lack of strategic focus. Significant resource shortages with considerable stress applied to most working teams. I believe that BW in Geneva have one of the highest turn over rates of the private banks in Switzerland...

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
