Pros

Used to have good pay, key word is USED TO. The rank and salary ceilings are lower the last couple of years. Unless you are lucky and get one of the few good bosses, you will get stuck very quickly.

Cons

Terrible cost cutting measures, constant restructuring and layoffs. Also heard of people being forced to leave in various ways without severance. The remaining people have to fill the void without proper training. Consider yourself warned.

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.
