      Pros

      the company provides employees one of very best class working environment all around the world; but work load is very high. They expect a lot from you to generate business, as well as contribution, ie) sharing Underwriting experience with colleagues, and knowledge sharing.

      Cons

      Work life balance, depends on line of business you are involved, or markets (ie. High growth market). Leadership of the company is good and fair, at least, but hard to satisfy all.

      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.
