Vantaggi

People are smart and nice Top management is good Good technology and enabling resources (you basically have access to everything you need and even more to do your job)

Svantaggi

Extremely Zurich centric: your career will not be the same if you are not based there even if you are in one of their major offices. Benefits and salary will not be the same either (pay is below or at market average in nearly all location, but in Zurich they pay a lot more than market average) Very poor middle management: technical people became managers but were not prepared for this Promotion is based too much on who you know (which is determined by where you are located, even in global roles) and how long you have served in the company (it looks like you are working for the state) There is also currently a strong culture shift with more and more consultants joining and cost pressure which affect morale across the entire company

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.
