      Great Benefits but Crushingly Corporate - Associate Swiss Re Employee Review

      Pros

      401k matching is unheard-of anywhere else. Perks like company sponsored happy hours and aperos were wonderful.

      Cons

      Monotonous, difficult to move around, raises are non-existent. Performance-review process is cumbersome, complicated, and not engaging. Management in other countries makes it very difficult to make any sort of impression. Could go a week or two without any conversation with line managers.

      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.
