      Pros

      Many opportunities available, very wealthy company. Had some fantastic bosses. Many opportunities for training available. Medium size make it easy to get to know many people in the company. Love the lunch culture at HQ -- great cafeteria food, plus fantastic chance for internal networking.

      Cons

      Some departments are run by old-style Swiss management, which can be a little chauvinistic. Some long-time employees have trouble accepting change -- and Swiss Re has undergone dramatic change in the past 10 years.

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

      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.
