Vantaggi

Large global company. Buildings are generally nice and modern. Some locations have nice lunch facilities. Some progressive working policies but see below

Svantaggi

In some areas where I have worked recently there is poor management capabilities which leads to undue pressure being put on staff to deliver and stop the wheels coming off. Not a pleasant environment. I joined the company many years ago and it seems to be getting worse. It’s not the fantastic company I joined. Annual engagement survey process is a joke with staff being told to make sure the results are positive as the consequences in the following year will not be pleasant. There is a real mix of traditional line managers who do not embrace modern ways of working which the company is supposed to be promoting and others who do. You are really lucky to find one who does.

Great culture, people are helpful

Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

Vantaggi

1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

Svantaggi

1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
