      Pros

      Good salary and benefits. Not a stressful environment. Relatively safe in this economic environment.

      Cons

      Not particularly dynamic. Quite set in it's ways. Progression can be very slow. No correlation whatsoever between seniority and competence. Prolific use of buzzwords with no real content; meetings are almost always hot air with no substance.

      It’s great to hear that the supportive environment and people‑focused culture resonated with you during your time at Swiss Re. We recognize that larger organizations can naturally move a bit slower, we’re continually working to make processes smoother for our employees. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

      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.
