Pros

The downtown location is good.

Cons

A huge amount of bureaucracy slows down getting anything done. A lot of politics to deal with in the I.T. department made it difficult to work there. My manager wanted nothing to do with any of her direct reports.

Pros

If you're in Aon Risk Solutions and are client facing, you'll have large, high-profile clients. Aon is, after all, one of the largest brokers in the world. The pay is about average for the industry. Work-life balance is reasonable. After you get the hang of things, you'll be able to switch your brain off (if you consider that a pro...which I do not.)

Cons

I've worked at two of the three largest brokerage firms and in management consulting. Aon is shockingly non-collaborative. In my 10+ years, I'm not sure I have found more poorly trained managers. It's a highly political organization, and the in-fighting and bitterness between divisions and teams is palpable. Aon has a reputation for internal "fiefdoms" and it has created a very disjointed organization. Please do not write my review off; I'm not simply trying to flame an old boss or employer. I honestly want to warn others, so you don't make the wrong call and bounce after <1 year. If you value teamwork and want to feel passion for your work, I cannot recommend you join Aon.
