We’re glad to hear that being part of Swiss Re and working alongside such a highly skilled workforce has been a highlight of your experience. We also recognize that in a more established industry, change can sometimes feel gradual, and ongoing adjustments are part of how we continue to stay competitive and evolve over time.

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.
