Pros

I can't find any at all.

Cons

Be prepared to be lied to by HR when you go through the interview and hiring process. Be prepared to be told you get pay raises, but you do not. Be prepared to be told you have a work life balance, but they are taking those opportunities away from everyone. Be prepared to be told moving within the company is easy, but it's not. This company acts like they hold high values, but they do not. Be prepared to feel like your job is in jeopardy everyday and to be threatened or sexually harassed if you don't feel out an "anonymous" survey. Be prepared to "work overtime" but never get paid for it. If you are hourly, it's not approved. If you are salary, you are going to be working 50+ hours a week. The company is a joke. My best advice is to run away and don't look back. You will regret your decision to EVER work with Swiss Re.

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.
