Stress without benefit - Senior Actuarial Trainee Spence & Partners Employee Review

Fast paced working environment with a flat structure in place throughout the company allowing interaction and collaboration between all levels of employees.

There are not many down sides that come to mind. Very occasional late nights and early mornings. As an intern I was not included in the bonus pool.

Steady paycheck. Free basic lunch once a week, which was a nice touch.

Meetings were often dominated by one or two voices, with limited room for others to speak. Bringing up new ideas or technical best practices wasn't always welcomed — could feel like input was dismissed rather than discussed. Concerns raised by staff weren't always followed up on or acted on. Overall, it wasn't a culture where speaking up felt safe, and that affected morale across the team.
