      Not good for IT professionals - Cloud Solution Architect Swiss Re Employee Review

      Pros

      Nice offices and free coffee

      Cons

      The management culture is very authoritative and fear based. While modern companies have nice agile and relaxed environments, at Swiss Re you find extremely formal and rigid practices. There have been frequent lay offs (two rounds within one year) and a lot of uncertainty coming from different disasters (e.g. pandemic, global warming...). I don't recommend working for this company, especially not in the IT area.

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Cons

      Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

      Corso - property underwriter

      Business outlook

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
