Allianz Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Allianz full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Initially, this firm was booming and growing back in 2008. In fact, this firm was doing very well while the rest of Wall Street was crumpling. Overall, the vacation days are decent, good health benefits, fairly young crowd. Work hours stick to a 9-5 parameter.

Cons – Very unstable, no growth or opportunity for most workers. Management don't know how to manage, there is very low or no moral. HR is almost do not exsist. There is no cohesiveness or integregration, each department is in its own world. The RIS group is ran like a muck, they do their own things, have their own cake & coffee hours.

Advice to Senior Management – Management should allow growth & opportunity for your employees. They need to hire or lay off the right people, they should not lay off top, quality workers. I have seen many top, quality people get lay off. They need to wake up & smell the coffee.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Allianz full-time for more than a year

Pros – Good pay, decent benefits. Some fun people work here.

Cons – Profit sharing and 401(k) matching are 0% vested until 3 years of service. Cubicle life for everyone without a senior manager title. Most cubicles have 1.5 walls and "0" privacy. IT systems are a complete joke. Restrictions on travel and other expenses are over the top.

Advice to Senior Management – Respect your employees more. Invest in IT.
