      Graduates Program in the US - Anonymous employee Swiss Re Employee Review

      Pros

      Decent program -- but certainly not the greatest -- for a first job straight from undergrad. (If you have an advanced degree or some years of real work experience then don't bother unless reinsurance is really what you want to do.) Being an international corporation they still have better perks than most but of course those in the home office (Zurich) have it best.

      Cons

      Micromanaged by folks in Zurich who don't really care about US employees. The people who run the Graduates Program are HR types who care more about themselves the program itself -- they lie to you about long term opportunities. Treat everyone the same including those who have several years of experience.

      Pros

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Cons

      Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
