      Assistant vice president

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Excellent benefits and exceptional 401k. Flexible work environment. Truly own the way your work! A leader in saving energy. Truly a go green firm.

      Cons

      Swiss Re is suppose to be a leader in the industry, but they certainly don't show it. Senior leadership says to "own your career" but in reality they pick who they choose to advance. There is no career opportunity for millennials. HR is awful! They know nothing about benefits.

      Pros

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

      Corso - property underwriter

      CEO approval
      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.
