Their benefits are excellent. That’s all they have to offer.

Worse company to work for

Pros

Only office interiors are good. If you love to gossip, don't want a career but just want to earn money, you can join here.

Cons

Not suitable for women employees. Workplace harassment is very prevalent. Dirty politics, spineless and unethical leadership, worse HR, unprofessional local leadership, useless Zurich teams, toxic and hostile work environment. Bangalore is run by a group of friends who think its their family business and not a billion dollar reputed 150+ years old. No value for employee's skill set and honesty. Slow decision making. Famous for affairs, gossips and rumours.

Run Away

Pros

I can't find any at all.

Cons

Be prepared to be lied to by HR when you go through the interview and hiring process. Be prepared to be told you get pay raises, but you do not. Be prepared to be told you have a work life balance, but they are taking those opportunities away from everyone. Be prepared to be told moving within the company is easy, but it's not. This company acts like they hold high values, but they do not. Be prepared to feel like your job is in jeopardy everyday and to be threatened or sexually harassed if you don't feel out an "anonymous" survey. Be prepared to "work overtime" but never get paid for it. If you are hourly, it's not approved. If you are salary, you are going to be working 50+ hours a week. The company is a joke. My best advice is to run away and don't look back. You will regret your decision to EVER work with Swiss Re.
