Pros

Very positive financial outlook for the company, Company with ambitious goals to become market leader in the CDMO business and strong purpose. Many exciting projects running, giving oppunities to contribute to great initiatives and learn on the run - this thought is a stress factor to some

Cons

Location Visp is remote and food served at the cantine is not great. The recently announced return to office policy (4 days a week) reduces even further the location attractiveness . Functions being cut and relocated overseas, as part of cost cutting initiatives. no clarity of teams impacted in the shorter and longer term is bringing down the morale, Company grew fast thus missing some of the backbone processes. Part of the business on site in old fashioned and is difficult to promote change or ways of working
