Great People. A lot of uphill work

Senior business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Management, Flexible working, industry, location

Cons

The IT is behind the curve. Still a lot of Excel and stuff done manually. Makes things interesting going forwards with automation trying to speed things up and the necessary governance slowing it down. There's just a lot of work to be done each month to think past the short term and fix the long term prospects. This comes down to people and vision. Qbe have great people but when you don't own your IT people you leave a lot of intelligence at the door

Great workplace but declining benefits and tough management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It used to be a great place to work, recently average. The salary slabs and benefits package were great, no lower-middle of the pack.

Cons

Last couple of years the package has become mediocre and bonus has pretty much dried up. Newly hired management team members are difficult to work with. A lot of office politics visible. Office culture has changed a lot in the last two years.
