Great place to learn, Not so good place to sustain

Operational risk manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Learning environment, knowledge driven organisation. Opportunities to work abroad to gain global perspective.

Cons

Extremely slow career progress, especially if you are focussing only on your work. Highly perception driven culture, lack of independent performance assessment mechanism, heavily dependent on stakeholder feedback. Joined this organisation in 2005 and worked for 13 years - it wasn't so politically contaminated at the early days in Bengaluru. Gradually it became a nightmare for people who are primarily introvert and only concerned about the work.

Swiss Re Response

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We take your inputs seriously. Career progression is a very important topic for us and we have already taken steps to improve our onboarding approach. We wish you all the best for your future career.
