Pros
AXA is part of the global AXA group and a public company. This fosters a more professional working environment than in some of our peers in the life industry. The facilities are good and there is good information available regarding company performance.
Cons
There has been significant cost cutting and it's taking it's toll. Many employees have been asked (forced) to take on more responsibility and had not been rewarded. In the last 4 years, we have lost good people but the work has only increased. In return for consistent 50 to 60 hour weeks and never really ever taking a day off, my salary has grown about 1% a year, and I'm told that I need to take on ever more if I want to be considered for a promotion. The benefits package is competitive but gets more expensive every year
