Extremely unethical and superficial company
Pros
Food and canteen. The breakout areas are good. The ambiance is good
Cons
The Bangalore office of SwissRe is extremely unethical. The local HR is very cliqued and try to establish their dominance on all departments despite no work. A woman at a senior position who works with the local HR in particular is a sour self centred individual and will not work and has no empathy but shows she is always busy. People I know were asked to leave at 2 hours notice and that too very badly. I haven't seen such unprofessional behaviour from any HR that I have ever worked for. They also treat their employees very badly and with no respect but have superficial charm claiming that they are non discriminatory but the truth is that there is staunch racism, sexism and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The company states they are proponents of mental health but I am aware of my colleagues being harassed out of wits by their teams and local HR. All of my colleagues including myself had to take therapy. The political prowess of the local HR is so much that the company will never do well given these politics. They have restructured already several times and are extremely vile people.
