AXA UK Reviews

Pros

Big company with lots of opportunities for growth

Cons

Managers don't have people skills

Pros

Great people. Pleasant working atmosphere, but no slacking. Company and management try hard to be fair. Good pay and benefits package.
Good fringe benefits - eg sports centre on site and understanding from company and colleagues that you use it.

Cons

Targets can be misguided and unrealistic. Not focussed on the most important things.
Difficult to get any radical change through. Departments and project world both very slow to change direction.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on key points. Instruct managers to do just one or two things, and give them the authority toi get it done.

Pros

Graduate programme
Global company with global opportunities
Benefits
People are generally good to work with

Cons

Culture and pace can be slow - decisions are not made quickly and have to go via numerous stakeholders
Lack of communication between departments so work can be duplicated or missed
Often you get ahead by who you know rather by merit and performance

Advice to Senior Management

Take time away from the politics and networking to actually make meaningful decisions that will support and guide your teams
