AXA UK Reviews

Pros

AXA really do care about it's customer and it's people!

Cons

As part of a global organisation, it can sometimes feel too big

Pros

- Strong sense of community within teams, coupled with cross-departmental collaboration - Small-company-like benefits in terms of flexibility and team vibe, along with all the benefits of working for a larger organisation (generous holiday, competitive pay, schemes and perks) - Truly care about their employees wellbeing, the effort I've seen here is more than in any other company I've worked for - Investment in personal and professional development - opportunities for growth and movement across business areas - Working towards being more agile and digital - Given autonomy and trusted to crack on, but support is available if you need it

Cons

- Can take a while to get your head around all the different business areas (I'm still not there yet) - In terms of IT, there's a lot of different systems/processes to get your head around (which sometimes differ between business unit/location) and it can be difficult to navigate the information to find what you need - As with all large companies, it can be difficult and time consuming to implement real change at scale

Pros

AXA provides a friendly place to work which is even more important if you solely work from home. It has a great benefits package, I genuinely feel looked after and supported. I experienced first hand how AXA provide working parents with a great deal of flexibility and promote a healthy work life balance. Also the response mounted during the Covid-19 pandemic has been incredible, getting 90% of the work force working from home relatively easily was very impressive. Lastly open and honest communication from CEO and board of management promotes a culture of transparency and high morale.

Cons

Salary could be slightly higher, but the overall package more than compensates for this.

Pros

Worked here for 9 months now nothing but support and positivity throughout my time, especially throughout the COVID-19 situation and allowing working from home where possible

Cons

nothing comes to mind that's negative

Pros

- Clever People to work with - Private /pro life balance

Cons

- Low pay - Too hierarchal

Pros

Wonderful management, brilliant benefits & a great work life balance

Cons

The salary is not very competitive.

Pros

AXA are an employer that really value each individual and make them feel welcome and part of the greater cause. As a newbie to the Insurance/Finance industry, the transition has been really easy, not challenging at all and that's mainly down to the Managers and my colleagues. A great team, that's honest, friendly and progressive. The support received during the Covid-19 pandemic has also been unimaginable, AXA have gone above and beyond to keep employers happy, ensuring everyone's health and well-being was priority and showing great support to those who have families. As a parent, they are a great employer that give working parents flexibility in all aspects and also understand the importance of work-home life balance. Lastly, great employer package with bonus and benefits.

Cons

Marketing salary within the company needs to be reviewed, not quite the benchmark compared to other industries
