      Pros

      One learns a lot among demanding managers and interesting projects, and, strive-for-perfection environment

      Cons

      Heavy workload, unattentive management treating employees as if they are just figures. No appreciation felt as employee. Too much politics and a bunch of Credit Suisse people that moved over to Swiss Re repeating the same s*** now in Swiss Re. Recent employee suicide- Swiss Re is not the Swiss Re that used to be anymore!

      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.
