      Pros

      Overall, Swiss Re is a wonderful company. Great benefits, values and work-life balance.

      Cons

      The Business Services department within Corporate Solutions is lacking in the management area. A lot of the managers work from home, and these managers lack a proper education and management experience to be effective. Advancement within the Business Services department does not appear to be based on work production, but based on managers opinion of you.

      It’s great to hear that the supportive environment and people‑focused culture resonated with you during your time at Swiss Re. We recognize that larger organizations can naturally move a bit slower, we’re continually working to make processes smoother for our employees. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

      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.
