Pros

Unlimited home office (depends on the manager) Relatively good benefits (CO2 programme, 5 extra days of annual leave) Bikes you can hire for 2 hours (not provided by Swiss RE but the building owner) Ideal for people with no university degree, you would not take advantage it here anyway

Cons

Salary below average Poor management (at least the L&H branch) No perspective for real career growth Cost cutting everywhere High bureaucracy Talent and creativity not valued

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.
