Pros

More holidays (29 days) once you are more senior. Great pension scheme.

Cons

The culture is non existent. People don't talk or socialize. It is a head down atmosphere which is as quiet as a library. Non existent teams due to culture. Not enough young talent works at Aviva Investors. I now understand why there is no probation period in their contracts, as their staff turnover is immensely high. I work with different departments and they all confirmed my opinion. Beware of this before you join!
