Pros

Company Backbone; Professional colleagues; Zug Campus Logistics; Convenient office location;

Cons

I have been working onsite in Zug for more than 3 years in an onsite strategic consultant role. My overall experience has been a fairly good one, mostly because I strived with extra efforts to keep it in good terms. However, there were a lot of unethical, low level, discriminative leadership misconducts. The entire Global Procurement Organization in Zug is filled with "leaders" who are very good at burning out their peers or 3rd party service providers, bullying is absolutely normal, faking the daily work is again a norm, the only good thing for which I would give them a prize is kanteen networking and backstabbing. There is nothing great being part of a corrupt organization, promoting talent on back door politics and ivy league men's strategies. It looks and feels like a sinking sheep, the only aspect keeping it alive is poor data reporting (polished numbers) for the US C-LEVEL, a few long time Directors and VPs who are feared and that's about it. For anyone willing to join the Procurement Function is ZUG, I would advise networking with as many current employees, asking for their honest opinion, preparing with straightforward questions and be extremely pragmatic, too many times HR will sell you the grant package when in reality the role will work your mental of.

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
