Pros

Very talented staff keep the company going

Cons

Beazley used to be a great place to work, but ever since the new CEO was promoted a couple of years ago things have got much worse. He is more concerned about gender and race than anything else, and he benefits financially by hiring racially diverse candidates, so this is no place for white males (despite being one himself!) He pretends to be concerned about the environment so introduced strict carbon budgets which heavily limits travel, but then forces all staff to come in to London twice a week and ignores the impact of all that additional carbon. Oh, and the carbon cap doesn’t apply to him, of course. We veer from one strategy to another, constantly introducing huge new change initiatives without thinking about the impact on the teams and then wonders why the growth plans aren’t materialising.

Pros

-team by team, but culture was really nice. Had a family feel, this is slowly going away -free lunch -lots of fun events -really nice offices -creative UWing, love the job and flexibility -our reputation is amazing in the industry -working with claims and everyone on all level. Easy to talk to anyone and group think

Cons

-executives blame employees for problems they create. The executives are the worst part of Beazley -heavy workload with lots of people leaving recently -some teams have toxic culture (mine does, and you can tell with how bad the turnover is) -salaries can be low and bonuses are getting weaker. Higher ups dont always want whats best for you either -I really dont like what has been happening to Beazley the past 2 years, I am worried with the Zurich purchase for we are a shell of what we used to be in such a short amount of time
