    status quo driven business process Disconnect between the Sr Management and local market or lower level staff.

    6 year Employee in Stabio, Switzerland

    Feb 3, 2023 - Senior Manager in Stabio
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Employee Discount - Travel days that fall on weekend are paid in lieu (Swiss law) - Swiss taxes - Full relocation package offered at time of initial move (unclear if this is still the case) - Bonus plan for Managers and above. (different to US based employees)

    Cons

    - Flexible working is almost non-existent for workers based outside of Switzerland - Dividing employees by having different work flexibility rules between Swiss residents & non-Swiss residents. - No progression - Male employees being paid more than female in same jobs - Male employees getting promoted easier - Majority of senior leadership team are male and white - Lack of diversity - Lots of lay offs/redundancies in the past couple of years - No training opportunities internally - The company has no interest in retaining young talent - Constant brand re-organisations, which makes it an anxious place to work. - Well-being support is offered, but its basic and not at the level it should be for a company that makes employees redundant on a monthly basis. - No Parking at office premises. - HR team lack international experience - Work life balance is difficult when working a global role (working with EU and US teams). No flexibility offered. - Office environment isn't inspiring and doesn't make you want to go to the office everyday. - Ongoing support for expats does not exist.
