Pros

Great reputation and strong capital

Cons

Its living off a reputation earned 20 years ago. Swiss Re no longer stands for what it used to. It as become a process driven company that does not value knowledge. Swiss Re only takes care of a few employees some good others not so good. Be prepared to go with no raises for years. Little upward mobility. Pay is the same regardless of experience. The are moving all the jobs to low costs countries overseas. Losing talent in local markets. There are few people in SR with any reputation.
