Pros

Great reputation and strong capital

Cons

Its living off a reputation earned 20 years ago. Swiss Re no longer stands for what it used to. It as become a process driven company that does not value knowledge. Swiss Re only takes care of a few employees some good others not so good. Be prepared to go with no raises for years. Little upward mobility. Pay is the same regardless of experience. The are moving all the jobs to low costs countries overseas. Losing talent in local markets. There are few people in SR with any reputation.

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.
