Pros

In most areas you get to work with amazing people and almost everyone is very friendly and cooperative. There definitely is a great work environment. In general work-life balance is very good and you don't get at all pressured into working long hours. The company has great internal policies regarding employee support matters and are usually very understanding about personal needs or problems. It's a very well established company, with a large market share and its core insurance products are high quality.

Cons

It's too difficult to get a raise and any sort of progression is very unlikely. After a few years where you can learn a lot, you start to feel there are no options to continue growing. Sometimes it feels like top management cares too much about "fashionable" projects and seem to somewhat forget its core business areas. It's decision processes take quite a long time, but I suppose that's to be expected given the size and industry.

Pros

- 35h per week - more vacations days - great health care - people are nice

Cons

- Very old-fashioned mentality. Leadership dominated by men from consulting backgrounds who resist doing things differently - Studies are done but data show that a project isn’t worthwhile is often ignored. Decisions are usually pre-determined, so studies feel redundant — the administration proceeds with its planned idea regardless - Promised job security repeatedly but conducted a major layoff, reflecting poorly on how employees are treated. - Limited career progression unless you are close to management - Reversed work-from-home policies despite survey results, increasing office days for all employees - Inconsistent rules across departments, e.g., varying office attendance requirements (1–3 days).
