Monotonous work. Great entry point into industry, but not a job for long term
Great team of colleagues that help you
Hard to move up and or advance your career
Global offices Strong financials Trying to change but much work still needed
Nepotism and narcissism is rampant with spouses and families working in different departments. New office layout is cramped making it difficult to have a conversation with customers. Cost cutting as Zurich looks to make up for past poor business decisions. A lot of work being outsourced to India, Zurich has a huge stake in kotak general insurance The focus on DEI is a welcome change, but the workplace culture still struggles with subtle forms of discrimination making it a challenge. Constant turnover and unnecessary bureaucracy leads to more work with slow or no replacement of employees who leave. Some managers lack the necessary leadership skills to effectively lead their teams. Promotions into management seem to prioritize technical expertise and favouritism, without regard for staff. Overly hierarchical, with leadership appearing more focused on attending high-profile events and maintaining their titles.
Good culture. Working with nice and friendly team
