Pros

Unlimited home office (depends on the manager) Relatively good benefits (CO2 programme, 5 extra days of annual leave) Bikes you can hire for 2 hours (not provided by Swiss RE but the building owner) Ideal for people with no university degree, you would not take advantage it here anyway

Cons

Salary below average Poor management (at least the L&H branch) No perspective for real career growth Cost cutting everywhere High bureaucracy Talent and creativity not valued
