Pros

- The cafeteria is awesome at Cheseaux. Delicious, not that expensive, changes meals every day with chef-confectionated dessert - Working at K2 in Cheseaux, the work atmosphere is great (when the group financial performances aren't impacting that as well), sport at noon, babyfoot in the openspace, beers that hits the spot, ....

Cons

- The company is doing really bad financially. Has been firing batch after batch of people without managing to stabilize the situation. Cut bonuses, no dividends for investors, crashing market value, just a software engineer but I'm pretty sure the golden year giving the famous "reputation" of Kudelski are over. - Pretends to have a balanced thriving approach meaning that you can grow as an employee while they can grow as company. The reality being that this "balance", is much more shifted towards their interest and if they can delay raise, bonuses, formation.... They will - Taking inspiration from an american model can lead to stuff like going (even more) against the internal dribbling down model. Meaning that, when the company is doing great due to increased sales (Covid), Andre is getting a big raise. However, when stuff is not going so great and people are losing their job left and right or not getting raises even though they deserve them, we are a "big family" and we "should go through this together". But hey, he's giving from his personal cave on the Christmas party so it's all good, right ?

Generous compensation, great office, friendly culture, in-office cafeteria with great food (paid) and other free snack options.

Cons

Advertised as "start up" inside an 80 year old swiss company, Very corporate (not very start up-y), still figuring out what it wants to be, no KPIs for this role,
