Pros

Fair and transparent pay. Very good benefits (make you want to work here till retirement). Friendly and knowledgeable colleagues. Good knowledge sharing culture.

Cons

Internal reorganization is too frequent. Many management decisions are not thought through before implementation. Slow in growth even if you outperform.

Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear that fair and transparent pay, strong benefits, and a collaborative culture made a positive impression, along with the knowledge sharing across teams. We also recognize that periods of change and career progression can feel challenging at times, but these are areas that help us grow and adapt as an organization while creating better opportunities for our employees.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
