Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear that the stability, benefits and supportive colleagues made your experience a positive one. We recognise that large organisations can move more slowly at times, and we’re working on becoming more agile where it matters most.

It´s great to hear you’ve had positive experiences with leadership. While reorganizations can bring change, they also open up new opportunities for growth, innovation, and collaboration. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Pros

Salary and benefits, nice offices.

Cons

It’s sad to see how far Swiss Re has fallen, especially since the current CEO has taken over. Consistent lay-offs, lack of opportunities, and an abundance of offshoring to cheaper geographies has left SwissRe hollow. Continued poor management in favour of “closing the gap to number 1” are starving this once great place to work its greatest asset; its people. What a sad state of affairs this once great employer has become.

It’s disappointing to hear that your time with us left you feeling unheard, especially during moments of change. We understand that restructuring and shifts in focus can impact people differently, and your perspective is an important reminder of that. While our strategy continues to evolve, our commitment to developing and supporting our people remains central to who we are.
