Unfair compensation and hypocrisy run rampant at Swiss Re

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work/Life Balance - Travel - Professional Development in certification courses - Flexible hours that do not drive you crazy

Cons

- Lack of inspiration from upper management: Very mature company in a mature industry. Cannot think outside the box - If Zurich says jump, New York says how high - Non-transferable skill set when looking to leave - Hypocrisy in upper management value message and execution - Lack of vision - Personally believe that Swiss Re, in the next market down cycle, will suffer severe repercussions for their inability to hedge highly exposed balance sheet

Supportive team and good benefits, but slow promotions and heavy workload

Business Outlook

Pros

Own the Way You Work Supportive team Decent Pay/Great benefits Opportunity for Mentorship Job Rotations

Cons

They talk about promotions and it takes 2-3 years to happen, if ever. Very slow to hire & fill open positions Employees with bad attitudes are left unchecked Work load can be extremely heavy. Especially with some team members who don’t carry their weight.

Swiss Re Response

It’s great to see that the flexibility in how work is approached, along with supportive colleagues and strong benefits, made a positive difference. Opportunities like mentorship and internal mobility are also important parts of the experience. We understand that clarity around career paths and managing workload effectively are key, and we continue to refine how we support teams to keep the environment sustainable and rewarding.
