Pros

401k is very generous (6% match + additional 6% company contribution. Highly respected global company. Opportunities to work in different functional areas.

Cons

You will be sold many benefits that actually end up being left to management's discretion. For instance, "Own the Way You Work," Swiss Re's program which is supposed to allow employees flexibility in the way they work (condensed work weeks, working from home a couple days a week, etc.) applies to much of the organization, but if you work in Corporate Solutions Operations, you will more than likely be denied this benefit. Micromanagement from the top forbids it.
