Pros

-Most departments respect a healthy work life balance -If you pick your department carefully, salary adjustments and performance based increases are great. -Decent company culture -Good benefits -

Cons

-Most departments do not adequately compensate. Salary increases are hard to get, regardless of performance, and you are expected to be grateful if you are given anything. If there is a pay adjustment mid year to accommodate inflation, it is unlikely you will be rewarded for performance at the end of the year, because "you already got you pay increase". This means that staff who have been there for years are being paid the same bare minimum as the new staff. -Regularly hire externally for higher pay than the most experienced existing staff. - Incredibly bureaucratic, smallest changes take months to approve. - Depending on your job role, Aviva have the right to move you to a different department if they readjust company structure, which can hinder career progress and performance growth. -Some departments readjust constantly (e.g changing teams, swapping managers, outsourcing, shutting down departments, opening new ones, reinstating old ones)
