Pros

A great place to work with good benefits. Some lovely people to work with German efficiency at it's finest, at least in my department anyway. They don't do anything by halves!

Cons

The opportunities to move up in the London office are very minimal. They will try to keep you in the same place doing the same thing for as long as they can get away with.

Pros

A handful of committed employees doing good work despite the environment

Cons

The US CEO is unreceptive to ideas that don’t align with his own perspective, and senior staff rarely challenge him. Over time this has created a culture of “agree first, think later,” where critical thinking and innovation are discouraged -in particular in the life division. The executive team has had nearly no racial diversity for over two decades. Employees can carrying heavy workloads with little recognition or fair pay progression -depending on who is favorited or not by the CEO. Note: especially for the life division, do your homework if you value a meritocracy with open-minded leadership and diversity.
