Pros

AXA are a high insurance brand but those industry will know AXA UKs strengths and weaknesses. Whilst AXA may be a market leader globally I don't think they excel in many areas I the UK. Good benefits, 10x life insurance(!), good salary and bonus. Very supportive of sponsoring professional qualifications and even degrees. I really support the new CEOs agenda of recruiting more women to the most senior results but diversity extends beyond gender.

Cons

It's a textbook case of "Big corporate". That means lots of red tape and politics, extremely risk adverse, complex and a top down culture. If you're not near the top of the hierarchy (and it's a very hierachal organisation) you won't have a voice. Maybe the "simplification process" they're going through will address some of these issues. At AXA you do things the AXA way and do not bother to challenge the status quo.

Pros

Hybrid working Flexible but very talented and knowledgeable managers/management Going places Socially aware Great benefits and much much more!

Cons

Like any company growing and going through transition, change sometimes occurs without all the pieces being in place but I would add it’s not very often!
