      Pros

      Great company to work for. Dynamic, forward looking, etc. Management is very fair, employee benefits brilliant, great work life balance,... it was (see below) one of the best companies to work for in Zurich.

      Cons

      New building Swiss Re Next - you'll struggle to find a desk never mind next to work colleagues. Lost all personal touch and one is just one in many. Very very poor and kills personal relationships at work. Might as well work permanently from home.

      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.
