Pluspunten

1. Large brand recognition as a reinsurer. 2. Narrow mandate of reinsurance only. They tend not to engage in insurance since it is not favorably looked up on by their clients. 3. Good job security. 4. 20+ vacation days. 5. Not expected after working hours.

Minpunten

1. "Old school" company with less regards to innovation. 2. Horrible payers - often 50% below market. 3. Highly bureaucratic. 4. Not women friendly - one of the board member made a remark that women are sometimes difficult to give higher responsibility since they are more expected to take care of kids. 5. Operates in Centralized fashion - German driven. They do not trust "non-German foreigners". 6. Not a good employer if you are entrepreneurial, they believe in keeping up to the old fashioned ways.

Pluspunten

A handful of committed employees doing good work despite the environment

Minpunten

The US CEO is unreceptive to ideas that don’t align with his own perspective, and senior staff rarely challenge him. Over time this has created a culture of “agree first, think later,” where critical thinking and innovation are discouraged -in particular in the life division. The executive team has had nearly no racial diversity for over two decades. Employees can carrying heavy workloads with little recognition or fair pay progression -depending on who is favorited or not by the CEO. Note: especially for the life division, do your homework if you value a meritocracy with open-minded leadership and diversity.
