In April the company said it would restructure its operations around the world – cutting 8,000 jobs.
Here 1,400 will go – out of 11,600 jobs in Switzerland – around 10%.
The company wants to save a billion dollars by 2024.
Most of the lost jobs will be from finance, human resources, legal positions and communications.
It will also consolidate some research positions.
