Smart co-workers and great benefits, but poor management direction

Underwriter

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Internal mobility. Wonderful and wickedly smart co-workers. Great benefits.

Cons

Management and Senior Leaders - initiatives constantly changing before the company is able to see the result of the work. Competing priorities. Mixed messaging. Company makes too much money and throws it around at the next shiny object that grabs their attention....to the detriment of the employee's work/life balance.

Swiss Re Response

In a global organisation, priorities and initiatives can evolve differently across teams, and we are committed to finding an approach that respects and provides a fair and supportive work environment for everyone.
