AXA Equitable Overview

Professional development is an ongoing commitment at AXA Equitable. Everyone has annual goal setting, mid- and year-end reviews with their managers. These help position our people for success.

As you become established in your role, you’ll be encouraged to seek development opportunities. At times, your manager will provide guidance, but you’re encouraged to reach out for regular coaching and feedback. This can help you get the most from learning resources such as e-learning, mentoring programs and instructor-led courses. You’ll gain access to other programs, like tuition reimbursement and leadership development training as you achieve your performance goals. These provide experience and knowledge that can help advance you in your current job or grow into new roles.

Plus, there are a lot of informal ways for you to learn new skills and discover interests and talents you never thought you had. For example, joining an Employee Resource Group (ERG) or cross-functional work team can provide growth experiences that your job responsibilities don’t offer.

International Experience

As you advance in the company, your responsibilities will increase with more interesting assignments and activities. You’ll also gain access to development opportunities that can take you almost anywhere—in one building or on a different continent.

A short- or long-term international assignment with an AXA Group company can broaden your professional background as you experience life in a foreign country. Short-term assignments can last three months to a year, and long-term assignments can be one to three years. Sometimes, individuals can be selected to go overseas. This happens when their skills and experience make them a good fit for an assignment.

Rewarding performance is the cornerstone of our Total Rewards philosophy. Our investment in employees goes beyond a paycheck. Total Rewards include cash compensation, access to comprehensive benefits programs and the opportunity to share in company results through equity.

Performance-based Compensation

At AXA Equitable, we believe performance-based compensation helps attract, develop and retain talented professionals. The company’s compensation program recognizes and rewards individual performance relative to company goals. In addition to base pay, the company provides the following types of potential compensation to reward performance:

     Merit Increases

     Promotions

     Spot Bonuses

     Short-Term Incentive Compensation

     Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Your Well-Being is Important to Us

Our commitment to attracting the best employees does not stop with compensation. Your health and well-being is also a priority.

Employees can build their own health care coverage based on their choices of co-payment amounts, annual deductible, amount of coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums.

In addition to health care coverage, the company offers, dental, vision, a retirement plan and other wealth accumulation options.

We’re aware that building and strengthening relationships with colleagues is an important part of your work experience. We offer a number of ways for you to network and socialize with co-workers. These include company sponsored athletic teams, volunteer activities, professional organizations and employee interest groups.

We also understand you have other priorities. So it makes sense to let you determine the best way to be productive and fulfilled by life in and out of the workplace. As you potentially advance in the company, you’ll gain access to opportunities for formal and informal workplace flexibility options, including a combination of flextime, time off and telecommuting; it’s not always immediate. These programs can help individuals manage their professional lives to be productive in ways that best enhance or increase performance.

Talented people from all backgrounds choose to build a career at AXA Equitable. Why? Because we believe the characteristics that make people unique are valued as essential to our goals of growing the business and serving our clients.

Everyone wants to be recognized. Just as our business is based on building relationships and addressing the needs of our customers, we appreciate the importance of an inclusive environment. Diversity of culture, thought, style, skills and perspectives ensures that each and every person at AXA Equitable is a valued member of the team

Customer focus is a top priority for our people. Here, everyone is a customer—your manager, your colleagues, your peers—and you’re expected to be available, attentive, and reliable in everything you do. At times, you’ll start your day early and leave work late, but you’ll be working closely with co-workers, learning new skills and gaining experience.

You’ll also be reminded to have fun. Whether it’s French lessons or flag football, you’ll meet people who can provide on-the-job advice and support. By joining these activities, you’ll become part of our active community where you’ll make new friends and have good times.

Our summer internship and professional development programs can be your start to a great career. You’ll learn from some of the best minds in financial protection. You’ll also gain skills that can help you make wise choices about your future

Actuarial Development Program

We offer one of the most highly regarded actuarial programs in the U.S. Each summer, select students spend ten weeks in New York City to learn about the actuarial profession. During their internship, students receive a full-time work assignment, where they learn about the methods used to solve insurance business problems. In addition, they take various classes that prepare them for their assignments.

Although the program is demanding, our interns have time to get to know one another and explore New York City. Throughout their stay, we organize many social events and group outings, including softball games in Central Park, a visit to Chinatown/Little Italy and a Mets or Yankees baseball game.

Those interested in applying must have strong math skills and be a college junior in high academic standing. Generally, candidates have passed at least one actuarial exam. Students accepted into the program receive competitive salaries and free dormitory housing.

Technology Associate Program

New college graduates looking to pursue a career in Information Technology shouldn’t overlook our IT Technology Associate program. This 18-Month rotational program transforms individuals into highly skilled information technology professionals. It provides a broad understanding of IT and in-depth knowledge of our internal best practices discipline, known as Centers of Excellence (COE).

Management Rotational Program

This two-year program develops future business leaders at AXA Equitable. It has three eight-month rotations that provide broad exposure to our operating areas.

Individuals in the program work on dynamic group projects, receive leadership training and have a strong support network for ongoing development. They also earn competitive salaries and have potential to be placed in management roles when their rotations end. Graduates and rising seniors who have a 3.5 GPA, demonstrated leadership capability and a business-focused major or minor should apply.

Corporate Summer Internship Program

For many students, our Corporate Summer Internship Program can be the first step toward a great career. We treat our interns like employees and have them work on projects based on real business challenges. Students learn from some of our top executives and gain hands-on experience and knowledge.

Throughout the ten-week program, there are social, community services, and team-building activities interns can join to get to know each other and their colleagues. Rising juniors and seniors with a 3.2 GPA and a business-relevant major or minor are encouraged to apply. Students accepted into the program earn competitive salaries, and many are offered positions in the operating areas that sponsored them.
