Vantaggi

Some good culture. People usually don't interrupt. Structured IT issue resolution. Sametime is excellent for quick communication.

Svantaggi

Swiss Re India Centric review. Swiss Re policies are good in "general" but they have a visible double standard when you come to India. In the name of low cost center, Swiss Re exploits Indian employees and does not offer good benefits. Swiss Re gets lots of good work done in India but they hardly put in much for development of employees. With similar kind of performance an employee in Zurich or US location tends to get much quickly promoted than an employee in India. Baggage / legacy issue: Lots of Swiss Re mid-level management comes from Genpact. The problem is that most of these mid-level manager (the ones with Swiss Re) are "process" champions but they are not "intellect". They hire from top institutes and as a result they end up becoming inferior managers to superior employees which leads to a lot of conflicts. During my stint at Swiss, I also had a feeling that the head office in Zurich does not want India employee to know the core things. As a result they would invest very little in training or acquainting Indian employees on core things.

Vantaggi

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Svantaggi

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.

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.
