Nice Company, good tech, and great people - Team Lead Animal Friends Insurance Employee Review

Pros

People team try to be engaged and on the pulse of employees. They actively work to improver conditions such as sick pay. There is a virtual conference monthly where you can ask just about any question. The project roadmap is ambitious and exciting so there will be plenty of opportunities to learn new skills in the future. CIO left IT in a good place, with many talented people to pick up the slack. Acting Heads are doing a great job.

Cons

CIO/CDO left abruptly which was unsettling.

Pros

Flexible working, WFH/Remote upon request Team members at same level were generally supportive and helpful on a day-to-day basis. Opportunity to gain experience handling a high volume of calls and emails.

Cons

Poor and often inconsistent communication from management across the company. Limited career progression, with advancement not always appearing to be based on experience or performance. Consistently high workload, not just during peak periods as suggested by management. Lack of collaboration between departments, with teams operating in silos rather than working together. Very heavy micro-management, including strict monitoring of metrics such as emails per hour, call duration, hold time, and time spent on post-call notes. Hiring and promotion decisions sometimes appeared to be influenced by personal preference rather than merit. Policies around sickness, dependants leave, and emergency leave felt overly strict, with employees often scrutinised or penalised.
