      Stable, interesting job - Vice President Swiss Re Employee Review

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      9-5 hours, challenging and dynamic work environment, good pay and generous bonuses if you perform well. Also offers stock profit sharing plan, v. good benefits including 401k double match.

      Cons

      Swiss-headquartered, management acts as if US were a "satellite" office even though we write 65%+ of the business. Will never win a "best company to work for" award in US given poor HR policies.

      Pros

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Cons

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

      Corso - property underwriter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      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.
