Pros

Link to Swiss Re is positive, my role involved lots of work/contact with Swiss Re colleagues, trips to Zurich and another Euro office. I viewed my interaction with Swiss Re processes and colleagues to be a big plus. Other pros: Small company hours, big city kinda work (depending in your department, obviously). Generally friendly people. If I could give separate ratings to Swiss Re and Admin Re, Swiss Re would get 4 stars, and Admin Re 2.5.

Cons

The Admin Re culture. Unprofessionalism is rife amongst some departments. People tend to think its OK to turn up to meetings late, or not at all. Some people just look so unmotivated and just bring the place down. The Telford office, and Telford itself.

Pros

Pay is good. Benefits are OK. Benefits like pension is eliminated and EPPis not attractive any more. 401K has been reduced for new joiners.

Cons

This company is not what it was once before. Few in upper middle management will do anything to save their job and create an unnecessiary layer. This restricts free communication and innovation. Meaning less projects that add no value and feels like things are done to just get attention and incentives. There is lot of good knowledge that is suppressed and not used. The thick middle management layer runs more on ego then knowledge and rationality.
