Pros

The company is really good and the benefits they offer is amazing. One the best n leading reinsurers in the world. Facilities are commendable and to be applauded. Sound technology.

Cons

The people there are ruining it. The sort of people hired and and given importance to is absolutely rubbish. They want to invest only in a closed group and nothing discussed openly. Later the other employees are blamed. If you are under the red radar of the management, forget your career here and move on. Way too much of politics involved on the floor. Zero professionalism and huddles happen in regional languages. Opportunities given only to managements favourite people.

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.
