Pros

Very strong management team and people at all levels general competent and driven. Open culture. Very comprehensive product suite, processes well established.

Cons

Currently in a cost reduction mode; morale is not so good. Some of the very senior Swiss executives not exactly well liked by most staff, but got to stay for long time and got bigger positions over time

Pros

If internal employee, getting fired is unlikely

Cons

-2nd class citizen (IT) -higher management without any technical experience, day-dreaming about change -Product owner acting like bottlenecks in team, micromanaging -you will be challenged on common sense stuff (ie. why do TDD, create monoliths) -a mountain of paperwork and bureaucracy for releases -CD/CI in shambles -Sloppy, manual testing, almost zero automation -Never get to work on interesting stuff, always distracted with meaningless tasks -Analysts don't speak with devs for requirements, but with semi-gods product owners -going to extremes to avoid regression testing impact -resulting in code duplication, and bad design -no interest to adopt new technologies
