Pros

Link to Swiss Re is positive, my role involved lots of work/contact with Swiss Re colleagues, trips to Zurich and another Euro office. I viewed my interaction with Swiss Re processes and colleagues to be a big plus. Other pros: Small company hours, big city kinda work (depending in your department, obviously). Generally friendly people. If I could give separate ratings to Swiss Re and Admin Re, Swiss Re would get 4 stars, and Admin Re 2.5.

Cons

The Admin Re culture. Unprofessionalism is rife amongst some departments. People tend to think its OK to turn up to meetings late, or not at all. Some people just look so unmotivated and just bring the place down. The Telford office, and Telford itself.

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.
