Pros

Good benefits (same as all big companies in Basel) Good salary (within the market ranges) Bright and diversified people Good location

Cons

- Lack of leadership. - Too many people involved in the decision making process. - Lack of end-to-end vision (working in silos) - Stiff environment, people are too serious... No joy. - Addiction to change, not enough time to settle from one change and already engaging in another (people get numb and in disbelief)
