Pros

Only office interiors are good. If you love to gossip, don't want a career but just want to earn money, you can join here.

Cons

Not suitable for women employees. Workplace harassment is very prevalent. Dirty politics, spineless and unethical leadership, worse HR, unprofessional local leadership, useless Zurich teams, toxic and hostile work environment. Bangalore is run by a group of friends who think its their family business and not a billion dollar reputed 150+ years old. No value for employee's skill set and honesty. Slow decision making. Famous for affairs, gossips and rumours.

Swiss Re remains committed to maintaining a positive working environment free of harassment. We hold staff directly accountable for their action, and in some cases, inaction. As a matter of policy, we thoroughly investigate every complaint or concern over offensive behaviour or harassment brought to our attention. We proactively respond to any evidence of harassment, which may include termination of employment.

Pros

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.
