Pros

-Nice co-workers, depending on department -Pays for your health insurance but not your family. CON - you are taxed on this because Switzerland counts this as part of your salary -Right by the lake -Flex work although depends on department

Cons

-Visa status if you are on a legitimation card -Toxic, overly political, old-fashion, boys club culture -No professional growth -You get "rewarded" with a title change if you stay LONG but your job is the same -No innovation, new ideas not welcomed. Do not rock the boat -Encouraged not to ask for anything but to be thankful you work at the IOC -Top management makes significantly more than staff -Most Heads Of and higher do not change despite being the problem -IOC likes to hire people from places that are struggling so they always have the upper hand. There is the sense that this is the best place for you because the alternative is worse, so be thankful and shut up -No black or brown people above senior manager level -Hypocritical - preaches gender equality but most higher management positions are held by men -Have to retire

Pros

great working environment and fun people

Cons

HR is horrible. They are sketchy in how they do business. If you are up for an internal position the application process is even more unclear. The hiring can take ages and when you think you got the job, since you talked about salary expectation, start date, benefits, etc and then they come back to you two weeks later saying you did not get the job. Terrible.
