Pros

Really nice people in my immediate team who made work fun and are now good friends. The initial response to the Covid-19 pandemic was great and really showed what could be achieved at pace with collaboration across the business.

Cons

The company positions itself as a leading employer externally but that didn't reflect my experience. The work/life balance of my colleagues and I was non-existent thanks to a lack of resource and poor stakeholder management, which had a serious impact on morale and wellbeing and has led to high turnover in the team.

Pros

In a world where everything is uncertain right now, I couldn't be happier working for AXA UK. The business has really stepped up to help all employees to navigate through these difficult times. They've set up an online well-being hub with lots of useful and practical resources. There's been consistent and informative communication all through the pandemic, from local management level all the way up to board level. Despite a bit of a slow start, AXA UK have made sure that we all have the technology and hardware that we need to work from home effectively too, without having to jump through hoops to get it. Outside of COVID, I think their an excellent employer - fair remuneration, good benefits, excellent access to learning (including putting you through CII qualifications), good ethics/values (socially and as a business), inspiring colleagues (inc managers and leaders) and you're treated as an individual, rather than just a number. I would highly recommend considering AXA UK as your next employer.

Cons

Not really many cons to be honest. Some of the systems and platforms we use are behind the times but there are plans afoot to fix this. Sometime business changes take longer than they should due to red tape, though that's to be expected in big company in a heavily regulated industry.

Pros

Great people good development opportunities. Well known global brand

Cons

No business direction just words with no actions against them. Leadership terrible and blame those working for them for lack of progress. Institutionalised management no hope of achieving the innovation and transformation this company needs. Terrible technology. In a spiral of decline.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and share your thoughts with us - we take your feedback very seriously - it helps support continuous improvement in the business areas concerned. I was pleased that you said there are ‘great people and good development opportunities’ - personal and career development is something we take great pride in and strive to promote across the teams. It was not so great to read that you do not see AXA’s leadership in the same light. Our new CEO has shared his key priorities for 2019, which are available to read on One. There are also Executive blogs with the opportunity for employees to ask questions and share their thoughts and concerns on AXA’s strategic direction. All our leaders invite feedback directly to them so please do please use those avenues if you have comments that can help all of us make things even better.
