      Manipulative Psychopaths

      Actuary
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      well known in the industry

      Cons

      hypocritical, inconsistent, psychopathic Mgmt ( 99% men) who are there just to self-serve and manipulate. Sure they pay lip-service to the cause de-jour, but nothing ever improves. Its an incestuous business with no upside or advancement for women. If you keep your head down and not ask any questions, keep your blinders on, and just do work like an automaton, you might be safe for a while through obscurity. If you try to advance you will be faces with a cesspool of ugly politics that will suck the soul from you. My advice, stay for 1-2 years, collect your paycheck, do the minimum, keep out of politics and move on to something better as soon as possible. this is not a place where imitative, diversity, innovation is valued or rewarded. These people are so disorganized, they could not find their way out of a paper bag during the day with a torch.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your candid feedback. We believe our colleagues do their best work when they are in a space where they feel welcome, valued and that they can bring their whole self to work each day. There is incredible value in speaking freely, as the best ideas often come from dissenting opinions and we know that there will always be a smarter way to do the work we do. The type of environment you described is not condoned or accepted at Guy Carpenter and we expressly prohibit all forms of such disruptive behavior. If you are a current colleague, there are a variety of avenues you can use to raise your concerns, including ones where you can do so anonymously.

      Its all about the boys- Country Club Management

      Pros

      good salary when you get hired

      Cons

      Its a boys club. Especially in Analytics. You thought Mad Men Culture was a thing from the 50's and 60s? It is well and alive here in 2020. There is little opportunity for women to advance into true leadership roles ( you know outside of " female" specialties like HR, Marketing or Change Management) especially in Analytics where the tie-in with revenue is less obvious so you can't advance on the pure metrics of business wins. Women are made to do all the work, yet don't get invited to key meetings, don't get any credit and definitely don't get any decision power. If you get any speaking roles in key meetings at all, they will be scripted by your male boss- so that they can parade you as a " token." I hate to even think about how much worse it must be for women and minorities of color. No matter your job title (even an MD or SVP), if you are a woman your job will be as some sort of secretary or other tasked to do work the men won;t do. The men need a " mommy" to keep them organized, to create their decks, deal with their employees etc. And throughout, you better smile and flatter the men and be " diplomatic" lest you want to be labeled as having an " attitude problem", " bad cultural fit", or my favorite - " poor people & relationship skills, so not management or promotion material ."

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your candid feedback. We strongly believe that a diverse workforce is the best way to foster new ideas, fulfill careers and enable our business to thrive. There is no limit on how far our colleagues can go, and there is zero room in our organization for discrimination of any kind. We know that the best ideas and innovations often come from challenging the status quo, so we encourage our colleagues to speak freely and never want our colleagues to feel they are limited to talk tracks or scripts while speaking to clients or leaders internally. The type of environment you described is not condoned or accepted at Guy Carpenter and we expressly prohibit all forms of such disruptive behavior. If you are a current colleague, there are a variety of avenues you can use to raise your concerns, including ones where you can do so anonymously.
