What’s it like to work here?

We trust each other. And we like to support one another in creating new opportunities. Our nimble approach and lean processes empower people in every position to make decisions, acting as trusted business owners.

We’re constantly looking for ways to better serve our clients. And we’re future-oriented – always on the lookout for new technologies and opportunities. Have an idea? We want to hear it.

We like to get together. Collaboration is encouraged. Throughout our Zurich campus, for example, you’ll find lounges, terraces and rooftops to get to know your colleagues and brainstorm. And when you’re eating your free lunch in our canteen, you may be sharing a table with your teammate, or perhaps the CEO.

We come from all kinds of backgrounds – and we know that gives us an edge. We’re proud that from our Swiss roots we have grown into a modern, dynamic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual team.

We are convinced that a diversity of perspectives leads to better understanding of the needs of our clients and the opportunities we can create for them. We foster an inclusive work environment where equality and diversity thrive in support of our strategy, goals and priorities.

Everyone is invited to participate in and help shape our culture. Workshops and bottom-up initiatives help move us forward on our journey. Within our yearly Diversity, Equality & Inclusion weeks –supported by employees across our organization – we bring everyone together to explore new perspectives.

To achieve a corporate culture that embodies diversity, equality and inclusion, we focus on the following three pillars:
