      Pros

      You learn a lot of new things and learn even more as you gain experience.There are some really great people there.

      Cons

      Lack of communication,poor training, sometimes very little support.One person says do it this way,another says no do it this way.It feels as if you have to prepare to be interrogated at any moment for anything even if a manager tells you to do something.Be prepared to endure disrespectful attitudes with people with inflated egos.Contractors are subhuman to some and there are a lot of people in competition to get hired on permanent so the environment can seem abrasive.

      Great place to get a start in the industry - Depends very much on the Business, Manager, and yourself!

      Pros

      Aon is willing to give you a chance even if you are not from the industry. The people are generally friendly and it is more laidback compared to others who have more aggressive targets and competitive environment. The companies differ greatly though so it depends very much which company, department, manager, and country! Aon Benfield has the intellectuals as they are very much into data and analytics so it is a great place to learn. You can grow fast as they do put you in front of client early. Aon Hewitt has a plethora of innovative new products and best benefits but it can be too casual - maybe it's the consulting nature so the staff tend to be more flippant. Aon Risk Solutions is the core business and its size contributes to the multiple lines of policies and expertise. You can learn from the seasoned staff or drown in its volume and administrative tasks. Top management ie. those in UK and USA speak the values and culture talk. Access to senior management is rather flat so you can grow fast if you put in extra effort to increase visibility.

      Cons

      Middle management doesn't implement the strategies nor do they ingrain the values and culture. They are busy building their own mini kingdoms; this is particularly true in local offices where the countries are far from HQ. Perception is that those who put in the effort and perform get "rewarded" with more work and higher expectations. They need to support slackers who get promoted due to their "boss management" skills and desperation level of that department to retain employees so they don't look bad. Internal promotions are not the culture so you need to really look for opportunities yourself. Your manager may just direct you to the company website! No active mentoring and annual review is the only time you get performance discussions. People managers are not really trained to be a leader but they get promoted due to years in company, relationship with the bosses, or desperation of the department to retain the staff to avoid looking bad in staff retention!

      Flexible working hours, strong work/life balance, ability to work remotely, excellent people who are highly skilled

      Cons

      Little financial upside in recent years. Major management turnover, low moral mainly due to frozen salaries, smaller bonuses
