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.
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.
