Pros

Brand recognition Wide varity of product Good benifits

Cons

This post is about the eastern commercial construction division only. After 6 months only, the management was an absolute nightmare and micromanaging a daily routine. There is no room for personal growth or creativity because if you dare to give your input, you will be squashed. The constant yelling and the psychological harassment have been used serval times. I have addressed this matter at the HR that the old-fashioned ineffective methods were no longer the right way to manage people. Things where changing for a couple of days and they kept coming back afterwards. No doubt in my mind that this is a Narcissistic Personality Disorder type of management because this type of managers value themselves by belittling others. Nevertheless, if dismissing a narcissistic pervert helps restore harmony in the company in the short term, it is necessary to question the dynamics that allowed the toxic individual to climb the ladder in the company.

We are constantly working with our managers to provide them with the best coaching and support to enable them to do their job effectively. We wish you good luck in your future endeavors.

Thank you for your review and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed working here. We pride ourselves on our flat hierarchy and the empowerment of our employees. We are of course very proud to be a Swiss company but with a presence in 101 countries we are also very international and we persevere with a global but local culture.
