Pros

- big name in the industry. Can open doors for opportunities after having worked at Swiss Re - Impressive proprietary tools - Some retired or close to retirement employees passed on useful knowledge - Sabbatical program is attractive

Cons

- Uninspiring place to work - poor management locally in region, countrywide, and from Zurich - Senior management is untrustworthy - Senior management is an echo chamber of Yes Men - was not a valued employee and was underpaid - all discussions asking for guidance or change fell on deaf ears. - peers were set up to compete against each other. Manager had clear favorites. Even when favorites behaved poorly (either blatant disrespect of other colleagues/rules or reckless underwriting), the favorites continued to get preferential treatment.
