Pros

Good base salary Nice colleagues Some interesting projects

Cons

As part of cost savings, most if not all employee benefits are removed. People are fired but work does not go away, so the the ones left are under water. Swissre has really downgraded itself from one of best employees to worst in just few years. High management only cares anout their prestige projects like wine cellars or art collections. Middle management is fighting for the few positions left and acts like its kindergarden. Most of them should have retired centuries ago.

Pros

There are some smart and dedicated people at Swiss Re. Good market reputation and eminence.

Cons

Company is difficult for new people to navigate given flat structure and unclear/duplicative roles. Company and management seem to change its mind on initiatives before even seeing if the initiative will meet original objectives. Core values are stated but Not sure are consistently executed upon.
