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.
