Pros

Good work environment, plenty of facilities for employees, Swiss does take care of its employees very well, provided you get a good team and line manager it will be a very good learning experience

Cons

Very rigid top management, not open to new ideas, less pay, although the company and brand are good no use if you land up in a bad team. Because of people who are there in the company since forever there are not much growth opportunities, lots of internal politics and favouritism

It’s great to hear that the supportive environment and people‑focused culture resonated with you during your time at Swiss Re. We recognize that larger organizations can naturally move a bit slower, we’re continually working to make processes smoother for our employees. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Pros

1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

Cons

1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
