Pros

Nice offices and free coffee

Cons

The management culture is very authoritative and fear based. While modern companies have nice agile and relaxed environments, at Swiss Re you find extremely formal and rigid practices. There have been frequent lay offs (two rounds within one year) and a lot of uncertainty coming from different disasters (e.g. pandemic, global warming...). I don't recommend working for this company, especially not in the IT area.
