AXA Reviews

Pros

AXA was a fabulous place to work. Great talented people and management, was progressively moving forward with new technologies and growing at a super fast and profitable rate.

Cons

Unfortunately, AXA was bought out May 2011 by Intact Insurance and has been splintered between various divisions. A lot of the technologies being implemented were scrapped due to the merger.

Advice to Senior Management

Hopefully the managers that made it to Intact will be able to elicit positive change in their new roles. Intact, please listen to the managers that you acquired with the merger. They know how to make a company profitable.
