Pros

I was working in the SSC in Fribourg and I could really learn a lot about the industry and its processes. The environment was relaxing and friendly

Cons

The company seems not to invest on talent and does not so much to retain it. The career progress depends mainly on your seniority not on your skills. Lack of communication across the company. The affiliates and sometimes the departmens do not talk among each other.
