Pros

Overall a good company to work for. They promote a healthy work life balance and are flexible with working from home, this is dependent on the role you have. Very talented bunch of people and in the main there is a positive environment.

Cons

Salary is not great in the UK, if you want to progress with the firm you should try to work in Zurich. The benefits in Zurich are extremely attractive.

Powerhouse of a company with a big heart and a huge purpose. Top-notch CEO leading the company holistically. It's not about money first, it's about the greater good, a stronger and more resilient society, a healthier planet, happy employees.

Still traditional hierarchies and hierarchical thinking. Too much management and not enough true leadership.
