This works well in the company

IT support is good as well as IT tools for home office and office.

This could be improved

Agree with another review below. I see significant potential for improvement in the area of management and HR. There is no way to escalate any problems or get any form of support for labor law problems - SNB is very focused on not letting anything get out, so any problems that arise are swept under the carpet. Most worrisome is the lack of consequences for bad managers who are payed generous salaries with taxpayers' money throughout their lives.

There is usually a very good culture within the team due to the many years of service.

This could be improved

I see significant potential for improvement in the area of management and HR. There is no way to escalate any problems or get any form of support for labor law problems - SNB is very focused on not letting anything get out, so any problems that arise are swept under the carpet. The salary is supposed to be based on external factors, but there is no mapping to internal functions and activities should you develop in your own position and take on additional responsibilities, this cannot be easily transferred to your own salary as the salary is linked to the position and not to the person and their activities. Due to the rigid structures, further career opportunities are severely limited and the development of skills is complicated by the strict restrictions - there is no room for experimentation.

This works well in the company

Automatic confirmation that the documents have been received in the system.

This could be improved

I have applied for a role. After submitting the documents, I received an automatic email confirming receipt of the documents. After 2 weeks with no update, I tried to reach the contact person in the posting. Unfortunately, I was forwarded to a third party voicemail at first. I was later able to leave a message with the contact person. My request for feedback on the status of the application went unanswered. Finally, after about a month, I received a standard rejection. I realize that many applications were probably received. But if someone is listed as a contact in the ad, you should at least be able to reach them. I find it disrespectful not to respond to direct inquiries.
