And re the cost of living - my extensive research (10 minutes with Google) suggests the cost of living is 50% higher than where I am now, but property costs 2.5 times as much. Ouch.
ok to work through, they pay on time although check how (if) they pay expenses. They only pay mine once end client has paid them, which means about 90 day terms which is pretty pants.

I've worked with them in the past. They take a high margin (approx 25%) but they are VERY efficient. My pay was NEVER late, always by the middle of the month as long as my timesheet was in on time. If you don't mind working in Europe, they are a good agent to work with, as they have quite a lot of clients in mainland Europe across different technologies.

I won't use them. If you do get a contract with them, read it carefully or get a lawyer to check it through. They tend to say, for the Swiss contracts, that you can't work in Switzerland as a contractor through anyone else. While such a clause is challengable, there's no precedence set yet.
