Pros

I really loved Swiss Re during my time there. Management is friendly, open to suggestions, you will rarely find micromanagement, autenticity, autonomy, integrity and continuous improvement are the core values that everyone expects. Swiss Re Academy is a great place to learn new skills and competences. Intracompany mobility is highly promoted, with oppportunities for shadowings, rotations, movement through various departments, honing your skills and expertise.

Cons

The company don´t have local offices everywhere although it has around 37 offices around the world. I had to leave becuase I was relocating to a country without local coverage and international remote work is, sadly, not allowed. That is the biggest con I can think of. Swiss Re gave me wings and roots, I will be forever a very happy ex-employer.

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.
