Pros

Nice Offices Over the years I now know how not to manage at a Director level or above

Cons

Benefits offered are below what is offered in the Square Mile Sold a lot about Gallagher Culture, however this does no exist in the London office. Tenets that the company were founded on mean little in the UK by Exec UK Whistleblowing policy does not exist and nothing is done, even when a Director breaks the law, let alone a number of internal policies - HR take a blind eye. They talk about diversity, however you don’t have to scratch too deep to know it really doesn’t exist or reflect in policies. Exec don’t support as you never see them out of hours at diversity events. If any wrong doing is reported to HR your dealt with like a criminal, while the other individual is not dealt with. It’s not easily to obtain internal up to date policies as set out by the regulator No work life balance - sold Hybrid and come in when you need, then started to be treated like a child and I have to be in the office when the Director is in. No empowerment and told daily what to do Micromanagement - Made to travel to different offices even though you have no work purpose to be there - Management wanting to show control. Complete work tasks to have everything checked by Director. Not allowed to speak with other departments without sign off from Director and them knowing why. No authority and everything has to go via Director.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
