      Pros

      So I often describe Swiss Re as having more PhDs than MIT. Others describe it as a university with a balance sheet. The truth is, Swiss Re has a solid business, has many an amazing expert, and treats employees well. The food is simply the best I've ever seen in a corporate environment. The culture is quite Swiss: Gentle, conservative but with an intellectual edge (thanks to all those amazing experts). Colleagues are mostly very kind to each other.

      Cons

      The one warning I have for everybody is: Watch it! The content is a dream (climate change, energy, food security...) and the projects are often the best you'll ever do, so the risk of working round the clock (and potentially burnout) is very real.

      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.
