Pros

Holiday package and flexible working options - good. Development opportunities numerous in volume (but see Cons) (Leased) office building was pleasant enough

Cons

Management are uninspiring (or downright incompetent) Salary and bonus are atrocious - well under market rate and have no bearing on performance of the unit, or indeed the company (hence the pay-rise "pot" remaining at 2% for the last three years, despite company profit increasing YOY) Aviva is defined by knee-jerk reactions. Nothing is thought through, so staff are forced to change focus from one minute to the next, be it on administrating X, or preventing Y. Nothing is ever maintained or followed-through to completion.
