Pros

Excellent benefits and exceptional 401k. Flexible work environment. Truly own the way your work! A leader in saving energy. Truly a go green firm.

Cons

Swiss Re is suppose to be a leader in the industry, but they certainly don't show it. Senior leadership says to "own your career" but in reality they pick who they choose to advance. There is no career opportunity for millennials. HR is awful! They know nothing about benefits.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
