Pros
The year just gone (2018) proved things are getting better. The leadership team seems to be genuinely listening and acting on the feedback they seek. The European business is beginning to settle into its own identity and feel comfortable and proud of itself. Most people you'll work with are friendly, talented and positive.
Cons
There needs to be much more diversity, in every team and at every level.
Advice to Management
Keep listening to us. We can help you build the company you say you want to create. Up your game pretty quickly on the diversity of your team and talent pool.

Pros
If you’re in with the clique then you may be spared. Everyone else is underpaid and not looked after. You don’t realise until you land with a proper company that values its employees.
Cons
UK Ceo and his mates are lacking real flair or dynamism. Cheap acting leadership has ruined the London office. Back office Redhill mentality dictating the way for a London operation - an unfortunate place to find oneself working. Not a transparent leadership. Say one thing but do the opposite
Advice to Management
Get younger and truly diverse people in to make genuine positive change. Old, white males still manage everything. The few women of influence that were there have been removed. Many influencers are from New Zealand and Australia where perspectives are different - don’t let this be a hindrance to a truly diverse operation.

I worked at Travelers full-time for more than a year
Pros
The people in the office were easy to get along with and down to earth. I got along well with all of my colleagues. The environment is diverse and encouraging.
Cons
There was a significant red tape to make any changes. Most of the software and procedures were outdated and cumbersome to use. They would benefit from more automated methods and procedures. I felt they were not as forward thinking as other companies in the insurance market.

More to be done regarding flexibility in terms of remote working.
