Collapsing Management and Fleeing Employees

Pros

Flexible work from home policies (but mostly because the company can't keep track)

Cons

Beazley is led in the US by insecure, incompetent management. There is significant infighting and backstabbing, as these insecure and incompetent people fight to retain or gain power within the organization. Most have no actual management experience or education--the ones who watched a TedTalk or two are considered visionaries. Managers have been telling lies for years and now they are undermining their own teams to prevent the truth of their incompetence from becoming evident. The last two years, most who can leave, have left. The rest have resumes out to competitors. The situation is so dire that US management entered into backroom deals with competitors to prevent continued poaching. This did little to stop the bleed as good people just found other places to work.

Rockbottom Morale. Sinking Profits. Incompetent Management

Pros

Management has told us a significant "pro" of the job is that we get to work for them.

Cons

Incompetent and dishonest US management have dishonestly reporting to the London head office. Massive power struggle in every group with managers trying to sabotage each other, sabotage their own teams, and scheming to sabotage their managers. Readers should know Beazley hires a PR firm to "monitor" and "manage" glassdoor reviews and ratings.

Pros

Company offers a more modern work environment known as the facebook model. Open floor work spaces deter hierarchical barriers. In my case, I was given the opportunity of being in close proximety to upper management with an informal atmostphere.

Cons

No room for progression. Easily a perfect company to work for a recent graduate. But after a year or so of dedication it becomes apparent that the company has very little to offer and shining stars. The lunch is the worst, don't include lunch in the compensation and then provide less than satisfactory meals.
