Best insurance company I’ve worked for. A place I feel I could stay for many years
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I joined Hiscox 7 months ago and am really enjoying it. The culture is one that is friendly and accepting. While lots is expected I don’t feel excessive pressure from management. Hybrid working - set by the teams giving.lots of flexibility. I feel Hiscox has got the balance right given us all ownership of our own time. I go into the office 2 days a week meaning I can balance childcare commitment. There has been a lot of work on benefits since joining I have been given two Hiscox days to add to my 25 days AL and also shares in the company. I thought the benefits were good prior to this. You get a Christmas hamper each year, which I am looking forward to getting. York office is an inspiring place to work and has a brilliant cafe (only £3.50 for a main)
Cons
No major downsides that I wouldn’t expect at a company of similar sizes.

Pros
Smaller size allows for greater impact of your role and direct access to top management. You have the opportunity to be involved in many different projects. Agile company with faster decision making and more transparent processes than bigger houses. International footprint with a multi cultural workforce. You are an individual with a name, as opposed to an employee with an id number. It is a great place for a young professional as there are numerous opportunities to learn.
Cons
Smaller company means also less resources and not sophisticated tools, systems and processes. We are very much dependent on individuals and in the absence or departure of individuals continuity is not always easy. Multi-tasking and blurring the lines (1st and 2nd) cannot be avoided, hence creating a sense of informality and lack of good governance. Annual leave benefits are not sufficient to maintain a healthy balance and allow for workforce to take some legal time out to recharge and return stronger. Mutli-tasking, insufficient resources (human and tools) leads to burn out or excess stress.
