Pros

Agile working environment. Wide screen monitors and mouse available on most desks.

Cons

The organization may expound Respect, Trust and Inclusion, but if you have a viewpoint (with justification) that challenges the existing way of working, you're treated as an outsider - with hostility, distrust, and disrespect. People mindset is still in the traditional working environment. I was deemed a slacker because I was hardly at my desk while my work required me to meet a lot of people in different levels face to face for effective project delivery. 1 week after my probation ended, with only a 2 minutes verbal feedback during my probation, I was given a notice of termination. Upon meeting my HOD with HR, it was found that erroneous and highly incomplete feedback was provided to my HOD on my performance. Both the HOD and HR were surprised when I presented my side of things with evidence. However, I decided that I didn't want to go back to working with the people who treated me this way and chose to move out of AXA.

Pros

Strong work–life balance: Working hours are generally reasonable, and personal time is respected. Stable and reputable company: AXA is a well-established global organization with long-term stability. Clear processes and governance: Well-defined procedures help reduce ambiguity and manage risk effectively. Global exposure: Opportunity to work with international teams and align with global standards. Professional working environment: Emphasis on compliance, ethics, and accountability. Learning opportunities: Access to training, documentation, and structured knowledge resources. Predictable workload: Less firefighting compared to fast-paced startups.

Cons

Slow decision-making: Multiple approval layers can delay execution and innovation. Limited flexibility in processes: Strong governance may feel restrictive for employees who prefer autonomy. Compensation growth can be gradual: Salary increases and promotions may be slower compared to startups or tech firms. Change management can be conservative: Adopting new tools or approaches often takes time. Bureaucracy: Documentation and compliance requirements can feel heavy at times. Innovation pace varies by team: Some teams move faster than others depending on leadership and region.
