Pros

Refers to Allianz SE in Munich (Schwabing): - You will work in an international environment, with the opportunity to work with people from all over the world and potentially travel to different countries for business trips or assignments. - Plenty of responsibility if you want it - Interesting projects - You will be surrounded by many smart and friendly people - Good salary - Great city centre location - Home office is not a problem at all (only 4 office days/ month) - 25 days/ year working from abroad is possible - Great canteen

Cons

- A lot of frustration due to high degree of politics - At Allianz, many things are overcomplicated so that complexity increases rather than decreases - Everyone at Allianz wants to have a say and be involved in decisions, which leads to maximum deceleration - No failure culture

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
