Pros

Good Brand, Global Reach, Profitable, Good Analytics, Sister Company to Marsh where leverage is possible.

Cons

London Management are dislocated from the business Politics rules above all common sense Poor pay reviews once on board Poor bonus system as bonus pot is used to buy in new employees so existing employees bonuses always reduce year on year No technical training No clear succession planning No centralised Analytics or Actuarial centre so replication of staff in each office which drives costs high No acceptance of ideas and change strategies (this is deemed trouble making) Too little control on costs as lots of wasted money in T&E domain
