      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people, the people, the people. Highly intelligent, committed. Good workspaces. Good IT department (if a little behind current state of the art). Very stable company and management.

      Cons

      Often imbalanced workloads between departments. Quite often too discursive-reflected through the need to have too many meetings. Can be too hierarchical at times.

      Felt like GE 2.0 - be just slightly better than your peers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For the right people, the opportunities are / were truly some of the best in the world. To access these opportunities people need to be able to change locations and positions to gain experience and develop their network. Truly a global company. Although my exit on disability was very complicated and challenging, Swiss Re ultimately maintained professionalism and honest communication in a claims process that is not always so "clean".

      Cons

      To get the best work people have to fit the Swiss Globalist mold. If you're not a good fit, you will not feel appreciated in most locations. Rather than lead corporately in the fight against employees and benefits, Swiss Re has joined with other peers in "managing costs over time" - meaning slowly eroding pay and benefits. Being part of the global finance industry requires playing by industry rules.
