Pros

401k contribution and match is among highest in the business. Initial PTO is very generous. Despite an unpopular RTO policy in 2025, the work style remains fairly flexible.

Cons

If you are a minority in any way, especially one of thought, you will quickly be ostracized. Always express gratitude, never tell the emperor they have no clothes on, and never think you are irreplaceable. This company has a modern and lofty exterior, but is truly homogeneous inside. You can be POC, but only if you behave white. You can be queer, but only if you are traditional about it. The US is run by Europeans thousands of miles away who know nothing about our economy, society, or business world.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.

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.
