Really good company

Pros

Flexible time. Agile seating. Good compensation. People are friendly and helpful. A lot of exchanges between high level managers down to employees

Cons

Hierarchy so it might be hard to be promoted to management level. Some managers focus more on managing up than managing down. This reflects in the teams’ quality

Pros

When it comes to keeping up with global trends, Swiss Re is extremely good at it. If you like the feel-good factor of joining a company that speaks and has a view on any latest global trend, this is the place for you.

Cons

Walking the talk is a key problem at Swiss Re, appreciating employees in a meaningful way (instead of doing things in a check-box approach) is lacking. Senior management are out-of-touch and do not connect with the clients and markets and do not get involved in helping to seal the deals. They are very much led by what consultants have to offer. It's all about reporting, reporting, reporting and skills in powerpoint and presentations will land you the promotions, not actually being good and diligent at the job. The senior management are too removed to understand what's required anyway.
