Business Outlook

Pros

Good cultural impact where all kinds of people are welcomed Supports knowledge sharing and skill development Office is vibrant and it encourages/motivates people to go to office

Cons

With the recent management changes, the company is going massive restructuring which has led in lack of job security The company has transforming into a aggressive profit motive company (which is good but has more aggressive compared to its historical trend), due to which we can see lot aggressive cost-cutting or cost reduction. This will impact in the company's culture and work environment and have deep impact in the working nature.

Swiss Re Response
