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.

This works well in the company

The company is a growing and rising bank. The wages and fringe benefits are very good. The majority of our colleagues are nice and helpful. There's a "you" culture by and large.

This could be improved

The infrastructure is a bit old, but is gradually being replaced.

Industry-standard salary and nice colleagues. Unfortunately there is nothing else positive to report.

This could be improved

Owners and management have no appreciation for employees. Strong Hire and Fire mentality. Poor working conditions (cramped offices, poor air conditioning, antiquated IT equipment, etc.) and no opportunities for further training or promotion.

This works well in the company

salary is on time, 5 weeks holidays, near main train station

This could be improved

company as an employer lacks pretty much everything apart from the salary. infrastructure is outdated (screens and workstations are from a museum), management is non-existant or completely chaotic if its somehow present. not recommendable at all if you want to be taken serious in a company.

Very good performance

The company has excellent social benefits and pays very good wages. The working atmosphere is familiar. The offices are usually very generously dimensioned.

Work climate varies from department to department, workplaces are cramped, work equipment and the general state of technology are outdated. Payment is good, but generally few opportunities to develop content. Management skills of superiors fluctuate greatly, and management does not attach particular importance to a nationwide offer of further training opportunities for its employees.

Working climate is pleasant. Superiors are mostly fair. Some technical decisions are absolutely incomprehensible. Owner of the bank makes the specifications, which are to be executed without comment. Technical equipment urgently needs to be improved. Salary's OK. There is an urgent need to improve the premises, far too little space. Air conditioning of the rooms is extremely bad in summer.
