Pros

A very small few have some interesting projects. Other employees, including managers and directors are very good.

Cons

Terrible attitude by C level towards employees. Around 40-50% of staff quit each year, turnover is extremely high and very few stay more than one year. People accept because they're told they'll work on data science projects, but most projects are standard IT you can do anywhere else. Very bad salary. Much lower than competitors or clients. If you are coming from a country with lower salaries this might still seem worthwhile at first. But the contract has a non-compete clause that prevents you from working for any companies they deal with, even if you've never had any interaction with them yourself. The Swiss job market is small, so you could find yourself locked out of the Swiss job market if you try to leave. It's illegal (look up Art. 340a I CO) but they do it anyway. You can see this same attitude all the time when they deal with employees.

Pros

- Modern company, with a start-up mentality and dynamism, yet the maturity of a soon-to-be great company - Plenty of opportunities to grow fast in the company, as the company itself is growing fast - Top-notch, technically super-strong colleagues with diverse backgrounds and true collegial environment with no internal competition. And fun people to have beers with :) - Walking the talk when it comes to ensuring proper work-life balance and flexibility to work from home / take PTO (of which we had 6 weeks/year during my time in the company) - Cool pro-bono projects and true motivation to "do good" and uphold the company's values

Cons

- Pay a little on the low end compared to larger / more established companies - Few "true" DS projects

Pros

- IT Ops Engineering at Unit8 means engaging many advanced technologies and adding new ones where it makes sense. - From platform comparisons to implementation, integration, process development, security, privacy, streamlining and complex troubleshooting, it's a chance to sharpen your skills to the extreme. If your passion swings this way, you can find a lot of freedom to grow your capabilities. - If you love the challenge, Unit8 lets you enjoy this job a lot, especially thanks to healthy decision making by a deeply integrated and highly skilled leadership team. - The culture at Unit8 also walks the talk of Agility and collaboration to an impressive extent. - If you like moving quickly and also care about quality, Unit8 is a good place for that.

Cons

At Unit8 we are a driven team of individuals that want to have an impact and show results. We are invested and self driven and put in the energy that is needed to achieve our goals. The sky isn't the limit. For me this is a big plus but if you prefer a much slower paced and easier job with less challenges, it might not be the place you.
