I have been working at XL Group plc
Pros – good people operating under heavy bureaucracy. The company is made up of several fiefdoms.
Cons – 1. The company has lost its way
2. Management has no serious plan to turn company around
3. Management does not communicate well
4. Who you know get you far
5. IT services is pathetic
6. Nonsensical acquisition strategy,
Advice to Senior Management – 1. Change the board
2. off load unprofitable business
3. Outsource IT, look for options at a minimum.
4. Attract and retain top talent. There are too many 'B' and 'C' players, need top tier talent
