Pros

Job Security with no work

Cons

- Delay in credit of Performance Bonus by 2 months in 2026 - Appraisal delayed by 4 months in 2026 - Extra payout delayed by 2 months - Avg increments ranges from 1-2% - toxic work culture and it feels like working for English people like pre 1947 era no leader has spine to challenge any decisions taken abroad - Restrooms and Pantry stinks like hell and one can easily notice cockroach infestation there - Not a great place to work as they claim to be All that management cares about to make more and more acquisitions by diverting bonus/salary/increments of employees for M&A

Unhelpful managers

Pros

Some colleagues were nice to socialise with and most people were friendly. The staff socials were always the highlight of my time at the organisation.

Cons

Some managers and senior managers need training in how to support their more junior staff. Too many times over my career here did I see new colleagues leave because they received no support from their manager. There is a very high level of staff turnover and I would say the organisation is worse than their American competitors. Gallagher need to be more upfront in their interview process to explain what type of person they're looking for rather than hire and fire. Some staff only last a few days in their role as they're often missold the role and some of us have only stayed as long as we have because we don't want to jump around jobs too often. There are severe issues, such as bullying, in certain teams and you should avoid joining them - Global centre of accounting, Legal Entity Control to name a few. The IT support is poor too. Managers encouraged working until the early hours of the morning which is shocking! Also, salaries are not kept confidential as I was shocked and disgusted to find out that everyone in the team knew how much I received.
