Extremely tiring but worth the experience if you are hard-working

Pros
AXA PH is known for having really good compensation. Salary will never be a problem. On top of 13th month pay, you have 14th and 15th month pay divided to 12 and added on top of your monthly gross. The office is really new at GT Tower in Makati. The pantry is big and facilities are generally clean. There are a lot of opportunities to be sent aboard either for a short-term assignment, conferences/seminar, or a permanent transfer if you wish. These places include Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, France, Japan, etc. In terms of experience, there are a lot of opportunities for people who are up for the challenge. If you get a position of Officer/Manager and up, you will get a lot of exposure to MANCOM whether they be on reporting or hands-on work. AXA's Regional office in HK is one of the best in the local industry, and if you have been around insurance companies in the Philippines for a while you will know that RO's relationship to the local team has a big direct effect on your deliverables.
Cons
Despite insisting on having a 'blue culture', AXA PH also has a lot of very difficult people especially from the managerial level all the way up to MANCOM. Therefore working with the higher levels can either be character-building or a big challenge (if you are averse to aggressive personalities) depending on how you view it. Important bit: Never be on the MANCOM's bad side at any point in time. You will find yourself out the door sooner than you think. There are a lot of avenues for training, some abroad and usually in AXA University in Singapore. Attrition rate is pretty high but may be usual across the local industry. Because of this it is possible you will be left alone (or with teammates) to do your team's work without proper guidance.
