Pros

- Diversity of people - Potentially a retirement job (which you’ll find many in the company)

Cons

- Slow to change - Politics abundant - Some teams are very toxic. Beware of being the sacrificial lamb. Navigate carefully. - Poor prospects for mid-career joiners Too many old guards at senior positions. Company tends to promote management graduates over mid career professionals. Hard to move up.

Pros

The company is really good and the benefits they offer is amazing. One the best n leading reinsurers in the world. Facilities are commendable and to be applauded. Sound technology.

Cons

The people there are ruining it. The sort of people hired and and given importance to is absolutely rubbish. They want to invest only in a closed group and nothing discussed openly. Later the other employees are blamed. If you are under the red radar of the management, forget your career here and move on. Way too much of politics involved on the floor. Zero professionalism and huddles happen in regional languages. Opportunities given only to managements favourite people.
