      Unfair compensation and hypocrisy run rampant at Swiss Re

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work/Life Balance - Travel - Professional Development in certification courses - Flexible hours that do not drive you crazy

      Cons

      - Lack of inspiration from upper management: Very mature company in a mature industry. Cannot think outside the box - If Zurich says jump, New York says how high - Non-transferable skill set when looking to leave - Hypocrisy in upper management value message and execution - Lack of vision - Personally believe that Swiss Re, in the next market down cycle, will suffer severe repercussions for their inability to hedge highly exposed balance sheet
