Vantaggi
They do give you a bonus at the end of the year. But you will have to equally share it with your team regardless of how good your performance is.
Svantaggi
L&G is a very corporate place and it is hard to be heard or make any changes without going through years of approvals. If they ask you to join with the view to promote you later the chances are it will not happen. Redundancies are very common. They do not do them well. They try and get rid of people quickly often offering minimal pay-offs. I was forced to reinterview for my job which, as I have found out, I was unable to perform, contrary to my higher than average figures and positive reviews. I have been told that the figures I have acquired so far meant nothing in the review process. I have tried arguing the decision and was shut down by HR with a number of excuses that were never communicated to us in the first place. The amount of stress left me traumatised and in need of medical help. Later I found out that my role was given to a long-term connection brought on board by the recently joined director. My entire team of over 10 people were forced to take redundancy to make space for the new team she wanted in our place. I know of a pregnant colleague who was bullied out of her role by her new manager. He simply did not like her. Before he even started the disciplinary action based on knit-picking through her role he asked her if she wanted to resign there and then. I have seen some shocking ways in which the company treats people and would not recommend it to anyone unless you are good mates with the person who will be managing you.
