      Great place to work, but slow and bureaucratic - Vice President Swiss Re Employee Review

      Pros

      Great place to work with good work-life balance and a very friendly culture. Top-notch reinsurance company, it does not get much better than Swiss Re working in the (re)insurance industry.

      Cons

      Slow and bureaucratic. Decisions take forever and many times do not get followed up on. If you are highly motivated and looking for challenges, the typical role at Swiss Re will get boring very soon.

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Corso - property underwriter

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      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.
