Unrecognised, long hours, little respect and no career progress

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mainly the people as its a young workforce in Geneva. Work/Social life is balanced if you wish it. Benefits include discounts on clothes, travel and lunch subsidy.

Cons

Management in ALL areas e.g. HR, Supply Chain, IT, etc are incompetant and only look at their bonus. Progress is only provided if you're willing to be obedient to your managers every command and perform a 12 hour day. Performance reviews and appraisals are not worth the Apple ipad they are written on by Directors and there is little or no training. All Directors are equivalent to Team Leaders in other companies and their lack of experience and people management are evident within the first week. As no formal qualifications are required for any roles, Directors are intellectually weak and only stay at the company for the bonus.

Not horrible but not great

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Looks good on resume to hopefully get what’s deserved from next job based on persception of being employed here.

Cons

Too much back stabbing and people riding the high horse when really they were no better. Brag about company wins and then when it’s time for employees reviews they have no monies for a decent cost of living wage increase.... what are we supposed to do with 1%,; bonuses go to those already Making 6 & 7’figure salaries with additional bonuses and do least amount of work unless you call rescheduling pointless Meetings all day!
