      Pros

      Great place to work, with an above market salary, great benefits package including insurance, share purchase programmes, and substantial bonuses. Work is often demanding, and interesting, and the company hires smart people.

      Cons

      Often long hours, compounded by a lack of ownership, particularly in the support or back office departments. Decision making is extremely slow. Can be extremely frustrating to work on initiatives which just stagnate because no one wants to be the first to say yes or no.

      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.
