Business Outlook

Pros

Good learning curve in the beginning. Lots of experienced people to learn from. Lots of potential projects if you communicate with the right people. Also lots of opportunities across departments.

Cons

After about 6 months, the work becomes repetitive and mentoring ends. At this point you need to teach yourself anything you want to learn.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Base salary is competitive, office environment is clean and organized, office location is nice and quiet, good colleagues. Work life balance can be manageable (at least in my function/team)

Cons

Health insurance is really bad (both in coverage and premium costs), multi national expectations of employees but mom and pop management style, seems like you have to be Swiss if you want to move up, too much politics in local upper management who love power plays, short term goals override everything else.
