      Bureaucratic Leadership, Lazy Unprofessional employees - Anonymous employee Swiss Re Employee Review

      Pros

      Can get average pay without working but saying yes for everything to the management

      Cons

      This company works on brotherhood. If you are in good books of the leadership, you get growth and visibility. Not at all a performance driven culture. HR department is highly inefficient. There is absolutely no interaction with business except a day before your last day in the organisation. If you have an opinion about things please stay away as Bangalore employees unlike Zurich employees can’t have one. Even the Directors are living a chilled out life; half of the days they don’t turn to office other half they leave by 3 PM.

      Pros

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Cons

      Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

      Business outlook

      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.
