Pros
Decent pension and holiday scheme
Kontras
HR hides behind their computers focusing on staff sales and don't follow up on reported health concerns of colleagues. Terse, unhelpful responses if you contact wrong HR person with queries, deeply unpleasant. Dept. heads had to repeatedly ask for HR engagement with staff (Town Hall) during pandemic. Stagnant pay, 2% increase based on excellent appraisals and increased work was dire before Covid pandemic and inflation crisis. Flexible working revoked on grounds that it looks bad if employee leaves 30 minutes earlier, apparently it doesn't look bad if you work 10-12 hours regularly and work late nights. Acas cannot understand this reasoning either. High turnover of IT staff, they complain regularly to colleagues outside IT about workload. To much focus on Swiss head office, other locations treated as an afterthought.
