      Pros

      When it comes to keeping up with global trends, Swiss Re is extremely good at it. If you like the feel-good factor of joining a company that speaks and has a view on any latest global trend, this is the place for you.

      Cons

      Walking the talk is a key problem at Swiss Re, appreciating employees in a meaningful way (instead of doing things in a check-box approach) is lacking. Senior management are out-of-touch and do not connect with the clients and markets and do not get involved in helping to seal the deals. They are very much led by what consultants have to offer. It's all about reporting, reporting, reporting and skills in powerpoint and presentations will land you the promotions, not actually being good and diligent at the job. The senior management are too removed to understand what's required anyway.

      Pros

      There is nothing. One should stay away from this company

      Cons

      - Company fires employees after 15 yrs - Open sexual harassment culture fully supported by management. Indian government should lock down their office - Zero ethics, their internal compliance process is fully broken - No growth, no learning, only politics
