      Pros

      In my 6.5 years experience with Swiss Re I felt welcome, respected and received lots of freedom of how I fulfil my role. I liked the culture of openness and the fact, that it is a custom to invite for lunch whoever you like, regardless of their position. Over those years I had great discussions with managing directors and learned a lot.

      Cons

      Swiss Re is a corporation of a substantial size, and as such, it is not free from phenomena, that after some time hierarchical structures of power serve mostly themselves, not the overall good of the organisation.

      Pros

      Overall a good company to work for. They promote a healthy work life balance and are flexible with working from home, this is dependent on the role you have. Very talented bunch of people and in the main there is a positive environment.

      Cons

      Salary is not great in the UK, if you want to progress with the firm you should try to work in Zurich. The benefits in Zurich are extremely attractive.

      Pros

      Powerhouse of a company with a big heart and a huge purpose. Top-notch CEO leading the company holistically. It's not about money first, it's about the greater good, a stronger and more resilient society, a healthier planet, happy employees.

      Cons

      Still traditional hierarchies and hierarchical thinking. Too much management and not enough true leadership.
