FINEOS benefits are driven by the core principals of rewarding employees competitively for their expertise and commitment, providing benefits that support employee wellbeing.

FINEOS recognises that as technologies change, work practices are also changing. We communicate more than ever before in virtual global teams and our work hours can vary. We appreciate the flexibility of our employees and work together on solutions towards achieving work life balance.

The best thing about FINEOS, is the opportunity to experience new challenges and develop new skills.

FINEOS trusts people who have proven themselves at one level to step up and take on new challenges, always with excellent training, mentoring and support.

My career progression has been from the detail of requirements analysis and feature design through to larger-scale product architecture and now heading up the Product Management team.

In Product Management we are focused on researching new and innovative features to take the product forward. So my current role empowers me to influence the overall direction of products whose detailed features I once worked on.

The role brings direct exposure to the latest trends and topics in enterprise applications, from portals and mobile to Software-as-a-Service. FINEOS makes real and continuous investments in improving its products, so there is always the opportunity to see ideas come to fruition.

As one of the (relative!) old-timers, having been with FINEOS for 14 years, I have certainly seen plenty of change and growth, from 25 people in a converted Georgian residence to a market-leading globalised company. We have somehow retained the best characteristics of a smaller organisation. The culture is one of energy, co-operation and yes, a good deal of fun.

FINEOS is of a size where it is big enough to properly resource new initiatives and yet small enough to embrace change quickly. It is big enough to be committed to adopting worldwide best practice, but small enough that its staff know each other personally and interact directly, positively and informally.

Product Management in particular is a uniquely positioned team with touchpoints into almost all aspects of FINEOS' business including sales, engineering, pricing, marketing and implementations, giving us a 360 degree perspective on the workings of a software company.

I enjoy working directly with FINEOS clients around the world (the opportunity to travel to exotic and not-so-exotic global locations is another bonus!). Our clients are like business partners, and we are fortunate to have friendly relations based on co-operation for mutual success.

I have been working in FINEOS for three years now. Prior to joining FINEOS I worked as an external auditor in a small firm. FINEOS appealed to me because it was a vibrant multinational company.

It has certainly been a good move for my career, as in the years I have been at FINEOS, I have gained very useful cross- business exposure, and my perspective and international accounting and tax knowledge has broadened tremendously. The finance department works closely with other central service teams, and I really enjoy this cross-team interaction.

FINEOS as a multinational company gives me lots of opportunities to develop my career, and put all my knowledge into practice. In FINEOS I have the opportunity to learn more as I am getting to know global / different regions accounting standards and tax legislation, which motivated me to further my studies in Tax. My financial controller has given me great support in my studies. Having encouraged me to further my study in tax, he also gave me the opportunity to attend tax briefings in order to keep up with complex and ever-changing tax law. I believe my career can grow with the company together.

FINEOS has provided me with an opportunity to work for a globally recognised company. Not only is this exciting, but it also brings new challenges and opportunities to work with an equally stimulating global workforce.

My time at FINEOS has been filled with working across multiple project teams, and often the team spans different continents. Working for FINEOS not only offers you the opportunities to work in and with multiple regions, but FINEOS encourages personal growth from within. The Professional Services division will offer you access to some of the brightest minds in the industry. FINEOS is an organisation with cutting edge software that attracts major companies in the insurance sector. This gives consultants an opportunity to leverage their skill-sets with companies that thrive on productivity and efficiency.

On all projects the teams are consistently working with the latest technologies. Working on projects with such clients will only further advance your professional development. FINEOS provides a culture to not only its employees, but also its clients that embodies the principles of partnership. I look forward to the next 5 years, as FINEOS continues to lead insurance software companies in providing quality service and a superb product.
