      Working at Aviva

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      It looks good on your CV

      Cons

      People are unwilling to take ownership of tasks. The company is so large with a constant turnover of staff/redundancies. You feel like a small cog most of the time.

      Lack of strategic vision and commitment operationally

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very little springs to mind.

      Cons

      Regular management changes, lack of stability and commitment to any strategy. Also serious lack of ability (in the support functions). Structurally fragmented across different businesses with no global co-ordination due to local fiefdoms.

      Soul destroying

      Pros

      The London and Bristol offices are pleasant environments. There are some good people who work there too. Good branding and company has potential to do well.

      Cons

      A lot of effort goes into employee and customer brand but these are just words on paper. They are not lived. As a senior manager exiting the business, happily on a huge redundancy payout so I want to leave remember so this is not spite, I can honestly say I've gone from a very engaged Friends employee to someone who couldn't be at a lower point in the way they feel about their career. When I first read the Aviva values, I was so energised as they are written so well. But I can only give examples of where I have consistently seen the opposite apply.
