Pros

Benefits are generous Collaborative working environment Fair recruitment policies Diverse employee base Great reputation and brand Strong senior leadership cohort but also seen as ruthless

Cons

Under performers allowed to coast Outstanding performance not rewarded and often leave for brighter prospects Things are changing but women are still under represented in senior posts Some inequality in culture across key sites can drive frustration and derail collaboration efforts. Salaries appear to lag behind market/competitors

Pros

Good benefits. Aviva household name in UK so good for CV profile. Have some good budget to spend When they bought Friends Life they kept Andy Briggs who is a real asset and great personality.

Cons

Big company, no clear strategy or clear messages. Structures for the 'servicing' teams confusing and don't deliver, lots of duplication of work and people looking after their own interests and not that of the customer. Don't know where to invest to get the best returns or a long-term plan, it's all very short sighted budget controls.
