Swiss Re reviews

The structure is very cutthroat and if you don't have experience in insurance, don't bother coming here. I would continuously contact my line manager for help or with questions as I did not know the industry that well, and she would consistently say, "google it" or "you should know this", her knowing that I came into the company as it being my first full-time job out of college. The lack of training is incredulous - I spent 2 hours in a room learning emergency procedures and setting up my laptop and then I was thrown to my desk to begin working. Everyone at the company is very harassing, looking down on you if you are the slightest bit confused or need the slightest bit of help. I was also continuously harassed by older, male coworkers to the point where I would continuously come home crying out of the misery, wanting to quit my job. Luckily, they let me go, due to "lack of industry knowledge". Great place to work at if you want to be working at a desk so silent that you can hear a pin drop on the carpet.

Its living off a reputation earned 20 years ago. Swiss Re no longer stands for what it used to. It as become a process driven company that does not value knowledge. Swiss Re only takes care of a few employees some good others not so good. Be prepared to go with no raises for years. Little upward mobility. Pay is the same regardless of experience. The are moving all the jobs to low costs countries overseas. Losing talent in local markets. There are few people in SR with any reputation.
