Pros
Good pay and flexible working. In the process of transforming the business.
Cons
Not for those who want to make a difference or be challenged in a good way.
Extremely hierarchical. Decision making falls in the wrong hands. People react due to fear as opposed to working proactively. Set in their ways and management do not listen. Disempowering when people who can add value get shot down by those who shout the loudest or intentional excluded.
People spend time on creative ways hide bad results rather focus on ways to fix the problem.
A lot of time and effort wasted on appeasing senior management on tick box exercises as opposed to anything meaningful.
Poor change management and resulting remediation is a constant embarrassment.Advice to Management
Stop and take stock of current status. Understand where it wants to play and what it wants to achieve. Then focus on a small number of things to get there. Having the right people and creating working environment for employees that helps empower people.
The company can achieve so much more.QBE 2018-12-08 22:45 PSTHelpful (1)

Pros
nothing much to be honest. They say, a lack of culture is a culture.
Cons
Management and leaders are too focused on managing shareholders and investors, and the resulting share price.
Advice to Management
Invest in management and leadership development because its almost non-existent.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at QBE full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Pay and benefits are good
Cons
Changes every day. Notifications via email. I suppose when I will be let you, it will also be via email.
Little processes defined, and the few ones they have are not adhered to.
There seems to be no plan or strategy.Advice to Management
Identify where the company is going. Constant transformation aka change is not a successful strategy.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at QBE part-time
Pros
Great flexibility and work/life balance, ability to work some days from home to meet parenting responsibilities. Leadership opportunities for all levels. Managers are generally high performing, decent people. Sense that the company is going somewhere.
Cons
Everyone is pretty busy doing their day-to-day tasks, so it can be difficult to find the time to innovate and plan ahead.
Advice to Management
While there has been a lot of executive change in recent years, much of this has been necessary. I’m hopeful that the new leadership team will work well together, and we will have a period of stability.
The flexible work policy is fantastic (and the no 1 reason I work for QBE), but I’ve received some feedback from colleagues that it can be inconsistently applied at lower levels in the company.QBE 2018-06-07 22:32 PDT![QBE Logo]()
