      Pros

      So I often describe Swiss Re as having more PhDs than MIT. Others describe it as a university with a balance sheet. The truth is, Swiss Re has a solid business, has many an amazing expert, and treats employees well. The food is simply the best I've ever seen in a corporate environment. The culture is quite Swiss: Gentle, conservative but with an intellectual edge (thanks to all those amazing experts). Colleagues are mostly very kind to each other.

      Cons

      The one warning I have for everybody is: Watch it! The content is a dream (climate change, energy, food security...) and the projects are often the best you'll ever do, so the risk of working round the clock (and potentially burnout) is very real.

      Pros

      Swiss Re is not just a reinsurer but a big think tank with a lot of knowledge, strong employee commitment and identification. With the best canteen and hospitality service ==> state of the art and the biggest factor of reputation. Makes the difference!

      Cons

      To much focused on processes, on productivity topics. Driven by costs rather client needs.
