      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Unlimited home office (depends on the manager) Relatively good benefits (CO2 programme, 5 extra days of annual leave) Bikes you can hire for 2 hours (not provided by Swiss RE but the building owner) Ideal for people with no university degree, you would not take advantage it here anyway

      Cons

      Salary below average Poor management (at least the L&H branch) No perspective for real career growth Cost cutting everywhere High bureaucracy Talent and creativity not valued

      It isn’t the same company I joined

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large global company. Buildings are generally nice and modern. Some locations have nice lunch facilities. Some progressive working policies but see below

      Cons

      In some areas where I have worked recently there is poor management capabilities which leads to undue pressure being put on staff to deliver and stop the wheels coming off. Not a pleasant environment. I joined the company many years ago and it seems to be getting worse. It’s not the fantastic company I joined. Annual engagement survey process is a joke with staff being told to make sure the results are positive as the consequences in the following year will not be pleasant. There is a real mix of traditional line managers who do not embrace modern ways of working which the company is supposed to be promoting and others who do. You are really lucky to find one who does.
