Pros

Global reach, multiple career path opportunites, responsible and community minded leadership are key attributes. The scale of Swiss Re allows for the resources to explore new and alternative solutions - they are a market leader. Swiss Re supports employee development through both internal and external resources. They treat employees well in a very comfortable environment.

Cons

Scale can hinder entrepeneurship at times. It can be very difficult challenging the existing norm. Processes can be over baked and excessive.

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.
