Pros

you could work remotely ( once or two times a week), and you could have a balance between life and work.

Cons

The managing style is highly hierarchical. The manager not necessary are very aware of the state of the art techniques ( even not familiar with the field), yet they would micro-manage every step of you. Lack of knowledge even on very basic practices in domains such as computer science, machine learning, or data science. Minor: There is a mismatch between what is advertised on their web page, and what they would offer you in reality. As an engineer, you are not equipped with high-end laptops. You are not going to have an workstation or a stationary desk at work (only a laptop). As a temporary employee, you have no new year bonus or any benefit as a permanent employee. If you are not an EU citizen you will mainly get an L permit to work in Switzerland for a temporary position which is not a good permit.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
