Pros

- Before Allianz took over LV GI

Cons

- Letting another company (TCS) perform redundancies on their behalf through TUPE - Outsourcing and losing talent to save money - Advising one outcome of if you're staying or going, then changing their mind, without a thought on the impact this has to employees mental health, ones who have been previously advised they are staying on the account - Profits come before people with a lot of the decision making process from leadership - Leadership at most levels coming up with un-related transformation initiatives. Highest level with one idea, the next one down another idea, these initiatives are unconnected and don't support each other. They generally get abandoned and no lessons are learned, just move onto the next one - Senior leaders who come across as untrustworthy in meetings/town halls - Poor pay, impossible to decipher paths to promotions/payrises, even then an excuse will be thought of as to why you're ineligible - A company to avoid if you work in IT and you value your worth and mental health

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
