Pros

Good base salary Nice colleagues Some interesting projects

Cons

As part of cost savings, most if not all employee benefits are removed. People are fired but work does not go away, so the the ones left are under water. Swissre has really downgraded itself from one of best employees to worst in just few years. High management only cares anout their prestige projects like wine cellars or art collections. Middle management is fighting for the few positions left and acts like its kindergarden. Most of them should have retired centuries ago.

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.
