Pros

Good work environment, plenty of facilities for employees, Swiss does take care of its employees very well, provided you get a good team and line manager it will be a very good learning experience

Cons

Very rigid top management, not open to new ideas, less pay, although the company and brand are good no use if you land up in a bad team. Because of people who are there in the company since forever there are not much growth opportunities, lots of internal politics and favouritism

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
