Swiss Re reviews

One of the worst places probably for career growth. The company pays very high salary to people like myself just to get them to do what an average 14 year old can do on excel and powerpoint. The amount of ownership is completely lacking and decision making is a joke in some teams. The company uses 5-6 full time employees (all at very high positions) for trivial projects and these employees do not do anything else. It is a paradise for someone who wants to do bare minimum and just draw a fat paycheck, but if you wish to grow in your career, this is a career suicide. The leadership (not the C suites, the one below them) are not managing changing environment well. There is clear bias and favoritism as they try to protect toxic people in the company. The Head Quarters is in Zurich and they make sure people know that other locations are just support locations and can be laid off without notice at any time. I have been in many organisations before but the lack of ethics in this one is extremely appalling.

Complicated structure invites dysfunctional behavior. Political to an extreme Underperforms in market and solution is to throw more of same at the issues.
