Pros

Good base salary Nice colleagues Some interesting projects

Cons

As part of cost savings, most if not all employee benefits are removed. People are fired but work does not go away, so the the ones left are under water. Swissre has really downgraded itself from one of best employees to worst in just few years. High management only cares anout their prestige projects like wine cellars or art collections. Middle management is fighting for the few positions left and acts like its kindergarden. Most of them should have retired centuries ago.

Pros

401K match better than other companies Overall benefits package is average

Cons

Inexperienced and ineffective management. Promises for full training and on-boarding to sweeten the job offer; stuck into a dark corner with no direction, no training, little to no communication. Highly questionable hiring/review/termination practices. Management more concerned with hiring buddies from past companies versus talent equipped to get the job done.
