Pros

- Own Your Way To Work initiative makes flexible working possible - Diverse culture with colleagues from different background / culture working together - Decent pension, gym and healthcare benefits

Cons

- Low morale from certain teams, engagement score at all time low - No inflationary salary adjustment, so loyalty is not really encouraged, but penalised as after some years at Swiss Re your pay is going to be eroded by inflation - Higher than industry average gender pay gap - Not many female in senior position, the senior management is predominately male

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
