Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is on par with industry standards.

Cons

A lot of sucking up. Excessive middle management layers. Toxic culture where complaints are disguised as feedback to help your growth. Bias and prejudice are rampant because there is no checks on middle management.

Swiss Re Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. At Swiss Re we strive to continually improve our working environment and take all feedback seriously. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

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.
