Maddening at times

Pros

It's better than starving. Seriously, the money is ok, but raises are pitiful, and bonuses are meted out carelessly and often to the wrong people.

Cons

Upper managers keep their jobs by inventing new initiatives ever year or so, then quickly abandoning rhem in favor of something new. This makes them appear like they always have an active project., but is hell for those affected by their decisions. Promotions are very superficial. If you want to get ahead, women should be under 30 and wear short skirts, and men should be very loud and irritating. Both genders must run their mouths while saying nothing of real value. Just fill that dead airspace! Also, new hires are not trained very well and many are woefully lacking in necessary job-related skills.

Truly global insurance leader

Pros

It is a challenging environment but very international even if it's a swiss corporation (much more global -also in terms of colleagues- than other competitors)

Cons

Still a bit bureaucratic, and not very innovative and prone to take risks. Life business needs more attention vs. general insurance
