Pros

Young, outgoing and active company with some great characters.

Cons

Unfortunately the few ruin it for the many. Clique culture which could have some impact on your career depending on your level. I've seen Leadership hires who lack the relevant skills or indepth knowledge. The company has inturn suffered delays in making progress due to said gaps. This individual may have got the job through relationships as opposed to calibre, their were certainly better candidates who applied for the job!

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to provide this. We always look to employ people who have the relevant skills and qualifications for each role and in the interest of helping to develop our employees, we prioritise recruiting internally where we can. We are developing new approaches and providing more guidance and training to managers for interviewing and assessment techniques and we actively promote diversity and inclusion across the business which includes providing all employees with unconscious bias training.

Great company culture. Good career growth opportunities.

Few cons. Does get busy from time to time, but that is the nature of the industry.

Thank you for your review. You are absolutely right in that it does get busy from time to time and if you are working with us as an Accountant, I am guessing that is at quarter and year end! Whilst we do accept that those are busy times, we also have global programmes happening both at PL Re and as part of our parent company PL where we are looking to make improvements/automations etc. which should lead to better processes during the busy times.

Cons

Office isn't the greatest but they are moving.
