Pros

Free lunch, gym and season ticket. Good selection of tea and biscuits. Can work from home. Lots of social events. Relaxed dress code. Can surf the internet during work hours. Open plan office. Fun place to work at. Easy to stay under the radar and get paid to do nothing.

Cons

Lack of diversity. Personal connections and extreme brown nosing required to get ahead. Nobody really knows that the customer base is. Unskilled lifers pit talented staff against each other to encourage productivity. Secretive and ambiguous about future of the company. Micromanagement. Too much money spent on contractors. Clueless HR department. Performance appraisal based on armchair psychology. Ridiculously low annual pay review. I am glad I left.

Pros

Salary is decent and the compensation package overall is good

Cons

Where do I begin… you are treated like a child. Patronised, micromanaged and lead by a group of uncaring individuals who have the biggest ego’s. When I originally joined this company there was a great culture and atmosphere, it felt like a family which is reflected in previous reviews however this new HR leadership is awful. They only care about their own reputation and bonus, they don’t stand up to the business and let bully’s run rife. Work load is high and the insistent changing of hybrid working expectations are ridiculous

Pros

Really good benefits on offer, lunch, travel, gym etc, Flexible working

Cons

Typical corporate insurance culture ; lack of progression and infrequent promotions available. Despite the appearance of a flat structure, the culture is quite school-like, senior members take a more authoritative approach whereas as younger/less senior members are treated like children. Any mistakes made are often punished, younger people shamed and error rate is expected to be 0. There is a pretence that people are empowered to give ideas/“an innovative culture” but not true at all. Only those in senior positions can do so. The Operations dept. works only to slave away at supporting main functions, they are not empowered to progress in the same way. Still Very bureaucratic and process-heavy in many ways but presenting itself as innovative. Inefficient Processes are clung to, there is no drive to create efficiency but rather only to make senior members of the workforce happy. They aren’t often to open to suggestions/change. Being an employee here made me very anxious , senior management constantly nit picking at the work of operations assistants, good work is never rewarded and the operations team are not included as a part of the main underwriting and claims functions. The term back-office is very correct in the way everyone else is .
