      Swiss Re no longer standing out as employer of choice

      Pros

      Company had/has a great reputation in Switzerland. The benefits are very good and the salary levels are on par with peers. Work/life balance is good and is a relatively low pressure working environment. Great knowledge within the company.

      Cons

      Company is constantly re-organizing and the culture is very political making it very difficult to get things done. Networks are very important for promotion which can help or hinder progress. Academic thought processes and the political environment can seriously hinder decision making resulting in a slow changing environment

      Good place to do not terribly exciting work!

      Pros

      Great building to work in! Atmosphere is relaxed and fun, many of the staff have been working there for 10+ years, so staff turnover is fairly low. My department was relaxed with no strict requirements regarding clothes, though the customer facing departments are obviously more strict in this regard. Lots of places to get lunch nearby and management did not seem strict regarding timing of lunch breaks, which was good!

      Cons

      Well, I found some of the work itself boring, and the company doesn't exactly have the most exciting goals or buisness. Consolidation in the industry means more potential job losses soon - recently part of a couple of mergers which is never fun for anyone involved.
