Pros

Swiss Re is not just a reinsurer but a big think tank with a lot of knowledge, strong employee commitment and identification. With the best canteen and hospitality service ==> state of the art and the biggest factor of reputation. Makes the difference!

Cons

To much focused on processes, on productivity topics. Driven by costs rather client needs.

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.
