Pros

the company provides employees one of very best class working environment all around the world; but work load is very high. They expect a lot from you to generate business, as well as contribution, ie) sharing Underwriting experience with colleagues, and knowledge sharing.

Cons

Work life balance, depends on line of business you are involved, or markets (ie. High growth market). Leadership of the company is good and fair, at least, but hard to satisfy all.

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.
