Pros

Swiss Re provides a good work-life balance, flexible hours, good pay and bonuses, and development opportunities. The people are great....diverse workforce both culturally and intellectually. Armonk location is beautiful with alot of amenities.

Cons

A bit bureaucratic. Internal opportunities can be limited in certain areas of the business.

Pros

So I often describe Swiss Re as having more PhDs than MIT. Others describe it as a university with a balance sheet. The truth is, Swiss Re has a solid business, has many an amazing expert, and treats employees well. The food is simply the best I've ever seen in a corporate environment. The culture is quite Swiss: Gentle, conservative but with an intellectual edge (thanks to all those amazing experts). Colleagues are mostly very kind to each other.

Cons

The one warning I have for everybody is: Watch it! The content is a dream (climate change, energy, food security...) and the projects are often the best you'll ever do, so the risk of working round the clock (and potentially burnout) is very real.
