Pros

Some colleagues were nice to socialise with and most people were friendly. The staff socials were always the highlight of my time at the organisation.

Cons

Some managers and senior managers need training in how to support their more junior staff. Too many times over my career here did I see new colleagues leave because they received no support from their manager. There is a very high level of staff turnover and I would say the organisation is worse than their American competitors. Gallagher need to be more upfront in their interview process to explain what type of person they're looking for rather than hire and fire. Some staff only last a few days in their role as they're often missold the role and some of us have only stayed as long as we have because we don't want to jump around jobs too often. There are severe issues, such as bullying, in certain teams and you should avoid joining them - Global centre of accounting, Legal Entity Control to name a few. The IT support is poor too. Managers encouraged working until the early hours of the morning which is shocking! Also, salaries are not kept confidential as I was shocked and disgusted to find out that everyone in the team knew how much I received.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
