Zurich Financial Services – “Good benefits but the work can be mindless and boring

Sep 10, 2009

2.0

Zurich Financial Services Project Manager in Chicago, IL:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Great benefits and salary, excellent work life balance, honest desire to make the place better

Cons

Most decisions are made either through a committee or through one or two key execs. Thus, things move very, very slowly
Lots of management layers, too many politics
A constant "hurry up and wait" approach...everything is an emergency yet no dates/budgets are met

Advice to Senior Management

Things like Agile, SCRUM, or Lean will always escape Zurich as long as the current organizational structure remains. Remove some of the layers and distribute decision making authority more.
