Pros

+ The company is successful in attracting great talent in all areas, particularly PhDs in Physics and Maths + Some pockets of the company are comprised of teams that are truly world class in their area of business + Impressive benefits package (in Switzerland) + Probably one of the best work/life balance you'll get anywhere

Cons

- Extremely bureaucratic and complex-to-navigate environment - Politics play a major role instead of being a (minor) necessary evil - No sense of urgency to accomplish anything - Projects tend to get shelved and serve mostly as a platform to justify someone's predetermined promotion
