Pros

I learnt a lot and even managed to change different roles within the company.

Cons

The environment is very stressful in the medical department. You work different shifts which doesn't create a nice work-life balance. I got the impression that management doesn't know how emotional and difficult it can be to go throw all the medical reports, laboratory tests etc. especially when you are working on a case of a deceased member. I had to take a few times sick/ stress leave.

Allianz Partners Response

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to write a review. We understand that by it's nature, shift work can be stressful. With the well-being of our employees in mind, Allianz Care offers a number of tools and services for colleagues to successfully manage stress. The first of these is our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which staff can avail of counselling over the phone or face to face, provided by qualified professionals. This service is paid for by the company and is available to all staff. We suggest that you reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner if the type of work you are doing is causing you stress. In addition to the EAP programme, the company provides training to help build resilience in terms of dealing with health information or cases that can be somewhat distressing. The 'Work Well' programme is available on the intranet and has been complemented in the past with seminars and talks in Park West. Please check the intranet and keep an eye out for future events. Another touch point provided by the company is LinkedIn Learning, which is available to all employees. On this platform there are multiple courses on managing stress to create a positive work environment - we'd encourage you to check this out also. Kind regards, Human Resources

Pros

Great people, great office, hybrid work model.

Cons

Office can feel empty on the in-office days mostly because the building is so massive and there just aren't enough people there to make it feel right.
