Pros

Very competitive benefits and nice perks. Most people are very nice. The Swiss values of the company are very ethical and environmentally focused. Most of the products help people, so it can be personally fulfilling to contribute to healthcare industry.

Cons

Lots of complexity in all areas that goes well beyond that of a large corporation. Risk averse, yet there is constant pressure to innovate. The overly process-oriented environment stifles creativity, while the corporate culture rewards a select few that are chosen for fast-track promotions. Depending on the work area, the pressure in marketing to achieve goals while dealing with process run-arounds can make work-life balance a challenge.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
