This works well in the company

Friendly interaction within the team. Supervisors who take notice and support you. Fair working hours. Good fringe benefits.

This could be improved

A little more could be invested in the infrastructure. Very cost-conscious.

This works well in the company

Nothing, nothing at all! Nothing at all! Nothing at all!

This could be improved

The most unqualified employees are team leaders. Trust equals ZERO. If a female employee wears a tank top in the summer, at 30°C inside temperature, she is told to put something on (no customer contact). Air conditioning is not wanted because of the cost. Existing employees are not allowed to be on a first-name basis with new employees, which is not desired by the higher authority. I have never worked in such an environment.

This works well in the company

Depends on your luck, some teams are nice to work for and some are not. The work culture is completely different in Geneva, Basel or Zurich.

This could be improved

Disastrous handling of the pandemic period. The only bank that obliges all the employees to come to the office. Lack of trust and constant climate of fear.
