Pros

Work Life Balance is great at Swiss Re. There is flexibility in work hours. Micromanagement is very minimal to nil. A very good state of the art workplace. The culture of the organisation is really good

Cons

Very poor payer. I work for Technical Accounting and there is absolutely no growth in the department. They have unrealistic expectations out of the employees.
