      Not getting better. - Product Owner (PO) Swiss Re Employee Review

      Pros

      The compensation is strong, making it a classic "golden cage" — hard to leave, even when things aren’t ideal. There’s significant potential to take on more responsibility and drive meaningful impact.

      Cons

      The benefits, which were once among the best, have now declined to a middling level at best. Unless an idea has B-band sponsorship, it's unlikely to move forward within the next five years. Leadership often believes its own narratives without reflecting on poor outcomes, which leads to repeated mistakes. Senior management tends to take a "my way or the highway" approach to feedback—an odd stance, especially considering they hire subject matter experts only to disregard their input.

      Pros

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Cons

      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.
