It's great learning but unequal opportunities and growth opportunities especially noting that many employees are already disadvantaged in terms of location.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Impact on business. Encouragement on being vocal and expressive.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Compensation discussions should be held in tandem with the candidate quality. Not before.

What makes you most happy at work?

Complexity of work. Chance to understand and explain complex issue to senior leaders who have a paucity of time. Oral communication.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Swiss Re's culture is pretty amazing to be honest but there is a lot of hypocrisy within certain teams, which restricts Frank problem solving.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Business focussed and very professional. Mid management slightly biased. Suggest to hone and value talent irrespective of the location. Inequality persistent between developed and developing country locations.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Swiss Re's history has made it bureaucraitc overtime, with a lot of weightage on corporate titles and hierarchy. A lot of senior people hide behind titles and thrive merely on networking and eloquence, while not really actively engaging in real work. Not a level playing field for real talent.
