Pros

1. Open organisation where transparent conversations can be had 2. Friendly collaborative culture 3. Postive, constructive feedback provided 4. Flexibility in terms of where you work (long may it continue) 5. Flexibility to arrange your own timings and workload as Beazley trust their employees to do their work in time

Cons

1. Benefits for child care. I would like to see more benefits for Parents like child care vouchers offered for nursery 2. For teams to be more open to change (like data changes) and for systems to be more aligned. If the implementation of new accounting stadards like IFRS17 have shown us anything, it is that teams need to be more flexible towards change 3. Try and prevent teams working in a silo manner and for there to be more cross communication in a project setting 4. For senior mgt to provide more steer in terms of upcoming changes rather than leaving it lower down the chain to communicate 5, Getting access to certain databases can something be very convoluted and take too long 6. Sometimes takes too long getting communication from certain teams and in certain cases the feedback you receive was incorrect and you find out further down the line (sometimes too late)

Pros

On the good side, even though their culture is really forced down your throat 24/7 like some PR propaganda. They do have a pretty lively culture overall. Although, that depends largely on your location and varies greatly. Their benefits package is pretty great or at least was when I was there. If and when you are liked and we’ll-respected, it’s the greatest place on Earth.

Cons

Since I left I’ve had time to reflect on my time with Beazley and therefore feel this is a fair assessment from my 7 years there. I completely agree with the many reviewers who have said that it’s extremely political there. I’ve seen them push out many employees over the years. Some earned it on their own and some did not. Overall the squeaky wheel gets the grease there; to a point of being cutthroat. If you’re liked by someone in high level management there is almost nothing, even extremely egregious you could do to get more than a slap on the wrist. If someone decides they don’t like you for some reason, your days could be numbered. My manager was dull and gave no direction or clear objectives, he was only concerned with pleasing the Executive team. They pack your schedule with back to back meetings all day, every day that usually accomplish nothing. They love to create projects and committees and then sub-committees; it’s laughable and it took me leaving to realize how many of those meetings were a terrible use of my time.

Pros

Great culture focused on people's strengths, able to voice own view and suggestion for improvements, managers genuinely caring about work/life balance and making sure people don't feel overwhelmed

Cons

Can be hectic if unused to working in a fast paced environment with lots of changes that required shift of focus and prioritization. Some system/IT issues
