Pluspunten

Great company to work for. Dynamic, forward looking, etc. Management is very fair, employee benefits brilliant, great work life balance,... it was (see below) one of the best companies to work for in Zurich.

Minpunten

New building Swiss Re Next - you'll struggle to find a desk never mind next to work colleagues. Lost all personal touch and one is just one in many. Very very poor and kills personal relationships at work. Might as well work permanently from home.

Pluspunten

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Minpunten

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
