      Pros

      The remuneration is very good. They really try to make sure the employees are getting the best environment and support.

      Smaller offices offer limited scope to advance careers. You need to move overseas if you wish to stay with the company.

      Pros

      1. Flexible working hours. You can really "own the way you work" as the company promises. 2. Meritocratic culture. Excellence in anything that you do is highly appreciated. 3. Internal mobility. If your performance is good enough, the company encourages you to take up any other roles if you wish to do so. In quite a few cases, people have relocated to teams in other countries as well. 4. Bangalore is the centre of attention for all global activities of Swiss Re currently as they are trying to establish the Bangalore office as their biggest centre of excellence. 5. In June 2018, the office is moving to a new building in Embassy Golf Links Bangalore, which is going to be a state of the art building with standard Swiss Re interiors just like all other the global offices. 6. Overall, most of the employees are friendly and the relation between various teams is a healthy one.

      Cons

      1. Salaries could be better. Especially the variable component, which is just peanuts. The company compares itself with global investment banks in terms of business and culture. But in terms of pay, it lags far behind these banks, especially at the Associate and AVP levels. This leads to a lot of good talent making a move to other firms. 2. Although the HR policies are great (as they are the same globally), the HR personnel in Bangalore are NOT as professional as you would expect them to be. 3. No formal training before you commence your job. The company believes in on the job training, which sometimes takes you by surprise.
