Pros

Hi, I honestly think it's the worse company I have ever worked for. HR are a complete joke! They are completely disorganised and useless. I worked in there finance department where there is a lot of politics. It's my request to you all that please stay away from this company.

Cons

None - so like I said please stay away. Free lunch and infrastructure may sound amazing but trust me its not worth it.

We take the onboarding of new employees very seriously; first impressions really do count! Our HR team has a range of processes that aim to ensure that new starters are inducted into the company in an engaging and comprehensive way. These include the Phoenix Green Room - a portal where new starters can find information on our functions, get an insight into their hiring manager, as well as day to day life at Phoenix - and an onsite HR team dedicated to each individual area of the business. We understand that this wasn't your experience, and we'll take your comments on board and see what we can do to make sure that everyone has a consistently excellent experience when they first join us.

Thank you for the positive review and kind words about Phoenix Group - we're glad to hear you've had such a great experience. We did notice the location listed as New York, where we don't currently have offices, so just wanted to check if this review was intended for us. We appreciate the feedback. - Senior Employer Brand Partner
