Business Outlook

Pros

Filled with smart people and a flexible work environment, this is a great place to be, especially if you have location flexibility and enjoy working across state and country lines.

Cons

A lot of problems and challenges can be left to the individual to sort out - there is a high degree of expertise throughout the company but sometimes it can be difficult to find or access efficiently.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-life balance. Big comfortable office in a spectacular countryside. Lots of training and travel opportunities. Laid back culture. Great benefits. I had worked in two departments. In the first one it was awful, in the other it was great. The culture and management quality was not consistent across the company.

Cons

The starting salary was above average, but afterwards there was no increase offered. I left after three years of waiting for a promotion. The management tried hard to improve the career opportunities for women, by trial and error with a lot of error. But the good intention was there. Perhaps the biggest issue is the belief, coming from the Swiss mentality, that it's an employment for life and people would be ok with working in the same position, no promotion or raise, for decades. That grows old fast.
