Pros

Was presented as an interesting piece of work in interviews, thought of working in an ‘insure tech’ was attractive.

Cons

Became quite obvious there wasn’t much of a plan and the company focuses on messaging and presentation. Proposals to fix issues fell on deaf ears because did not fit with the messaging. Bizarre culture where nobody dares speak up, like stepping back to the 1980s.

Pros

-Office is in a good location next to the Gherkin. -Lots of contractors. -“War-like” camaraderie in some teams.

Cons

-Macho culture where everything has to be done “yesterday”. -Some very poor decisions have put massive strain on staff. -Ok comp for contractors but perms underpaid. -Long hours and stressed people throughout the company. -Not a lot of honesty - it’s each for their own. -Very political -Seems like a short-term operation
