Pros

AXA provides a friendly place to work which is even more important if you solely work from home. It has a great benefits package, I genuinely feel looked after and supported. I experienced first hand how AXA provide working parents with a great deal of flexibility and promote a healthy work life balance. Also the response mounted during the Covid-19 pandemic has been incredible, getting 90% of the work force working from home relatively easily was very impressive. Lastly open and honest communication from CEO and board of management promotes a culture of transparency and high morale.

Cons

Salary could be slightly higher, but the overall package more than compensates for this.

Pros

Genuinely good people who take their job seriously. Some areas have the ethos of the outcome is as important as the path. New product/area teams have focus and drive.

Cons

Nepotism in management, with managers with little or no professional experience in security. Inability to provide constructive feedback as it has to go through the management chain. Mired in bureaucracy with decisions needing to be cleared up the chain and across teams. Training is limited to what the company provides, and certifications are not supported financially. For the positions in or close to London, about 2 years behind in salary.

Pros

They support training and development As the company is large there is opportunity to grow and move around It's international so you can work with other cultures The majority of people are good to work with

Cons

Unless you are in the favoured circle your opinion is discounted and career progression limited Very cost focused, with salaries being less competitive as a result Recently moved to a management culture of treating people like numbers not individuals Some senior people get away with frankly unacceptable behaviour towards others

Thank you for your very honest review. We pride ourselves on our culture and our employee's fulfilment at work so I am concerned to read some of your comments - please be assured all comments are read and fed back so we can ensure we are doing the best for our employees and pick up if there are improvements to be made.
