Pros

- Good company to retire from as it behaves like a public sector kind of employer with little to none expectations from your or challenges as a position - More than average salary for non tech based companies in CH - Exposure with a political working environment - Opportunity to work with diverse background colleagues

Cons

The main problem is that the profit of the company is not driven from technology. That is why there is no real motivation to push for excellence there (regardless of what you hear). That, in turn, creates a lot of problems in different areas, devaluating your profile as a software engineer.
