Pros

Good team members, like a small family

Cons

The company ia extremely unstable. Is just funny to see the high management comments here to increase the company score. But mostly is not really true. In the time In was there I saw two big lay-offs, each time around 20 people leaving the company due bad financial perspectives. Tje management had unrealistic goals, they contracted a lot of people which had to leave the company after few months. The salary is low, out of the market standards. HR was if some activities to have a better place to work, like events and stuff like that, but I never see they trying to solve root issues, as stability and salary. Basically, if you have better opportunities, go for it, this company is just good as a first opportunity in Switzerland, but no longer than 1 year to stay.

Pros

I’ve never felt so comfortable at work. I can always ask questions, get inspiration, and the team is great. It’s very easy to connect with people around me, and everyone is helpful. The product is solid, and the company’s vision is inspiring. I also appreciate the transparency — the company always shares its budget, so there are no unrealistic expectations.

Cons

There are some IT problems, like cables not working or not being properly set up, which sometimes slow my work down. I also hope to see more profit soon.

Pros

You will have ownership from day one of your internship. The colleagues are very nice and interesting, and it requires a large degree of interdisciplinary skills, which is much appreciated as an engineer.

Cons

IT issues and IT-related onboarding issues. Project-induced workload.
