Pros

Swarovski is a still family-owned business with the HQ located in Austrian Alps. And though the brand is internationally known and distributed, the company retains family like spirit and atmosphere. The brand combines several business segments, including biggest B2C segment of Swarovski jewelry and accessories, B2B segment of loose crystals and gemstones as well as other directions like Swareflex and Swarovski Optik. I work in B2B division and admire the company for it's people oriented approach, for responsible attitude towards environment and society, for transparent and positive atmosphere in the company, for proactive approach and openness to change. Currently, the company undergoes massive changes in brand positioning, strategy and org chart so it is difficult to say what it will be like in the next several months.

Cons

Since it's still a European company with a lot of people in HQ working for generations there, it might be sometimes a bit too slow in taking decisions and too local in business outlook. Still, these features do not spoil the whole picture of a very good place to work. Again, as it was until the big changes started.
