Pros

Link to Swiss Re is positive, my role involved lots of work/contact with Swiss Re colleagues, trips to Zurich and another Euro office. I viewed my interaction with Swiss Re processes and colleagues to be a big plus. Other pros: Small company hours, big city kinda work (depending in your department, obviously). Generally friendly people. If I could give separate ratings to Swiss Re and Admin Re, Swiss Re would get 4 stars, and Admin Re 2.5.

Cons

The Admin Re culture. Unprofessionalism is rife amongst some departments. People tend to think its OK to turn up to meetings late, or not at all. Some people just look so unmotivated and just bring the place down. The Telford office, and Telford itself.
