Good work life balance, but chaos is king
Pros
- Great work life balance (flexible working, flexidays, no long hours/being seen culture) - Some genuinely good and interesting people, the odd ego but far less than seen at competitors - Intelligent colleagues who genuinely know what they're talking about, not bluffing - Dress down in non customer facing roles - Pay seems to be slightly above industry average for similar roles/location
Cons
- Lots of reshuffles across the business with a complicated management structure - Lack of willing to really innovate - Unsuitable people being promoted who aren't up to the job but just left to carry on - Some poor computer systems - Senior management plough ahead with ideas despite being given evidence that they aren't good ideas - Some VERY bitter people - Direction and priorities seem to change too much and incoherently leaving a lot of people bewildered - No idea what the company's direction and strategy actually is, beyond the usual "Be the Best General Insurer" buzzphrase that all GIs use - Lots of consultants coming in to do jobs that internal people could and would like to do
