Vantaggi

* Good budgets * Good buildings and lunch * Sometimes a nice atmosphere between teams when pressure isn't at maximum * A pool of experts to consult (among weaker contributors). * A respected name across the insurance sector

Svantaggi

* Your line manager's behaviour has a huge influence on the Swiss Re experience. Some are competent leaders. Some are control freaks and don't trust specialists with vast industry experience, but follow external views religiously. * If you aren't Swiss then your opinion carries less value. * Lack of pragmatism and dynamism amongst many Swiss hampers the work * Compensation is good for the dead wood but poor for high-achievers. * People are in danger of burn-out with shrinking headcount. * Cost cutting is reducing quality of services.

Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

Vantaggi

1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

Svantaggi

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.
