Pros

Great people in the trenches performing the day-to-day work. Sense of teamwork. Good benefits.

Cons

Non-transparent management. Managers only give lip service to employee engagement and performance trumps strategy. Hit the numbers or hit the road mentality. Your IDP is given lip service with no help by managers to get to you to your career goal. Stagnant company that is not positioned to move forward and be profitable. HR is not your friend. IT is way behind the times. Company says they are competitive, but proof is in the numbers 3 to 5 years from now. High performers are not recognized or rewarded.

Pros

You will appreciate good companies once you quit Zurich Insurance

Cons

Very toxic environment with employees not having seen much diversity. Hence if you are not native to the UK you get treated atrociously. Exit interview was the funniest farce I’ve seen. The person interviewing was not even from HR. He was essentially reporting into the person who was the reason I quit. I’m sure the report went directly into the bin. The person who was the reason for me quit had a meeting me on my last day, to threaten me that I’m xx years old hence time is running out for my career. Could not believe the ageism. But very glad I got out.

Pros

Still have deep pockets and some level of corporate clout -- not what it once was and declining every day

Cons

The Swiss/Germans are inflexible ego maniacs and as a result their management style is not yielding (and all underlings must be yes-men). This approach is OK when all is well but when things go wrong -- they double down on their faulty thinking (because they cant be wrong). This eventually leads to wholesale management changes, instability and a miserable experience for all involved (employees and customers).
