Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
First, it's a phone interview via HR. Then a phone interview with your hiring manager. Then they fly u up for a live interviews. Felt that the entire process was pretty fair and casual. They were very friendly and patient and did not pressure you with deadlines. Salary negotiations typically go back to Zurich, Switzerland if you have semi high level position.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Miami, FL (took 4+ weeks)
I was encouraged by a colleague in the insurance industry (does not work for Swiss RE) to apply for the position with his recommendation. I applied online on their web page -very simple process. Some days later somebody from HR contacted me via email to inform me that I was going to contacted soon for a telephone interview. A week later I was contacted again by HR to schedule the telephone interview. I spent around 4 hours preparing for the interview, getting to know more about the company, etc. The interview started punctually with someone from HR and my possible future supervisor. I was asked: 1) why I would think my experience was relevant for the position; 2) if I spoke the languages requested for the position and how fluent I was; 3) Why was I looking for another job; 4) when could I start "if"; 5) How would I adapt or like the position if offered (because my current job seemed more dynamic for them); 6) Salary expectations; 7) Where would I like to work. Both interviewers were very nice and gentle, it was not boring at all, they were joking and chatting about other subjects at some point making the interview more enjoyable. Some weeks later, I was contacted again by one of the interviewers to inform me they had already chosen somebody else but encouraging me to keep my profile updated in order to be considered for other positions within the organization. Smooth and well managed process.
