Pros

In my 6.5 years experience with Swiss Re I felt welcome, respected and received lots of freedom of how I fulfil my role. I liked the culture of openness and the fact, that it is a custom to invite for lunch whoever you like, regardless of their position. Over those years I had great discussions with managing directors and learned a lot.

Cons

Swiss Re is a corporation of a substantial size, and as such, it is not free from phenomena, that after some time hierarchical structures of power serve mostly themselves, not the overall good of the organisation.
