Pros

Smart people, strong executive team, strong brand, many opportunities to move around (including globally), great work/life balance

Cons

Too consensus driven which makes decision making very slow, some senior management weak, very conservative /cautious in its approach, not enough turnover of employees which makes it difficult to progress in the organization and results in people staying stagnant in their roles until better oppotunities open up, very political

Big name in the industry.

Cons

Bureaucratic behemoth. Very inefficient. US employees are regarded by Swiss as low class. Anachronistic systems.
