Pros

- people are from many cultures and have very different backgrounds - people are smart and interesting - exciting (career)opportunities in various areas (also career changes) - cultural initiatives (sponsors theaters, museums, concerts, etc) - socially responsible company (CO2 compensation, "community days", etc) - fringe benefits: great employee restaurant, sports clubs, discounted tickets etc

Cons

- one employee is a "small number" - "silo" thinking - many rather want to "look" and appear good instead of helping others - many reorganizations for individuals to show off (as in many large companies:) - "employees" may be #2 priority (after stakeholders) - not individually, though, but as a whole only

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.
