Pros

Casual wear in office, free fruit in office every Fridays

Cons

No progression within AXA company, on average you have to stay with the company minimum 10 or 15 years to see any signs of promotion. No hybrid working, company prefer you to be working in the office full time, even though their job advert is misleading Very regulated environment, in general once you have completed work- you tend to have 5 separate audits on each work completed, and each audit you receive desperate feedback…. You have to go away and takes you another full day just to follow up on feedback and another day has gone to waste. Very stressful environment, you constantly feeling stressed due to the amount of work that is expected of you to be completed. On average 20- 25 cases you would be expected to be underwriting daily… as well as additional work on any feedback you have received on your previous work submitted- work constantly mounting up
