Pluspunten

Good pay, decent benefits, some great colleagues to share the pain with.

Minpunten

Unless you are in Zurich (global HQ), you are considered a second-class employee. Everyone in Zurich thinks they are the best at their job, which simply isn't true. This carries up to the organization, where global hq can tell the regions what to do, and what not to do. As a result, US employees, for example, are mostly order-takers from people who know less about a strategy than they do. Except for the US CEO, upper management is unwilling to challenge anybody that the US has a better vision and strategy of where to take the company. The global CEO has no vision yet micromanages his leadership team to ensure no one else gets to challenge him. He is not customer-focused, just buzzword-focused.

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
