Zurich Insurance reviews

- IT systems were abysmal, something from the dark ages. - Pay was atrocious and considerably less than the rest of the market, while the senior exec and senior managers great pay, great bonuses and little to know restrictions with regard to expense accounts. - Very bureaucratics, dysfunctional behemoth. Countless layers and reporting structure was a nightmare. - Offices around the globe were not joined up; in fact, sometimes other global offices were competing against your team for the same business. How absurd - management didn't seem to care.

- The forced ranking system whereby each unit must rank some of its team low and cut them out of rewards can hinder or totally kill the collaborative spirit, puts managers in a difficult spot, and is counterproductive - There is NO effort to help you develop or find new positions in the company - if they need to reduce headcount in one area, they just get rid of you without any thought to trying to find you something else first (I've seen very few exceptions to this in my 13 years with them)
