Pros

Good pay when you join. Good training programs. Pioneer in the insurance industry. Good medical insurance for family.

Cons

Harassment is very prevalent. Onshore opportunities are less for lower levels. There’s lots of politics especially in p&c bm. Employees are not allowed to take their leaves or work from home by their managers though organisation advocates the opposite. There is no whistleblowing helpline where people can report their issues. Hr never comes to talk to people. P&c bm currently lacks leader to steer issues forward and managers are taking advantage of that and harassing employees. Lateral moves are not easy since most people don’t want to take ta ppl.

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.
