Pros
Quality business. Good products. Nice offices
Cons
Staff pressurised. Confusing leadership. Too much change.
Advice to Management
Go back to the values of Robert Hiscox. Avoid becoming a large corporation culturally. Coach rather than punish errors. Acknowledge the many changes to the UK business didn’t work. Take responsibility at senior levels rather than cascading it down.

"A place to start..."
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Hiscox full-time
Pros
-Chance to take on a lot of work that will help develop your competency when working in another company.
Cons
-Classism: A few token working-class people have climbed from years ago. Yet, this ladder has been pulled up by them. -Nepotism is rife. Chances are given to those who have family members that do business with Hiscox. -You can be competent and complete the highest workload. Yet, your caste will decide your value in the company. Are you attractive? Connected? And so on...

Pros
The interview process was quick and pleasant, the communication was excellent and I received my offer within a week of starting the recruitment process. The interviewers were very approachable and made the whole experience as relaxed as possible. The new starter processes work well and are designed to ease off the adaptation stages. The culture is very welcoming, supporting and inclusive and everyone is helpful and friendly.

None found so far in my 5 months of employment.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work in empowering, encouraging and praising the employees, as these are the best motivators.
