AXA IM Reviews

Branded name, performance, professionalism, working with high quality professionals, recognition, balance between professional life and private life, high competencies managers

Cons

I worked at AXA Investment Managers in Paris as an intern so some times as an intern I did not get the recognition I deserved for the job I did.

Advice to Senior Management

I do not think I have the capacity to give advice to the leadership at AXA Investment Managers, but if I must, I would say some more recognition would be nice to the employees

Friendly environment, quick learning, laid back

Cons

management, time organization, assignments, benefits

Cons

- Compensation could be a lot better

Advice to Senior Management

More effort needed to incorporate offices that aren't in London. Too Paris-centric. Compensation also needs to be improved to stay competitive.

Pros

People were really nice and helpful. I was an intern there. I had a well-defined project and my progress was monitored.

Cons

The salary was not that high with respect to the other companies. I had to make a presentation at the end of the internship, which was obligatory.

Advice to Senior Management

It would be nice to have classes on C++ as an intern and some HW assignments.

Pros

Good sector (insurance and asset management) brand name, global and stable business. Management has a vision, focus on growth and expansion so dynamic company.

Cons

Dominated by French, so if you are not French getting a top position is difficult (if not impossible). all disadvantages of a large company (highly political, inefficiencies,...).

Advice to Senior Management

French culture has some advantages and some disadvantages, so try to get rid of the latter. Tendency to act pro-cyclical when often anti-cyclical would be better.
