Pros

Big-name brand on the CV

Cons

Terrible work–life balance — constant pressure, no respect for boundaries Long-time employees who performed well are being pushed out by the new 5-day office policy. Pay is below competitors, not worth the hours or stress Toxic environment where management doesn’t listen and doesn’t value staff

Pros

Nice office, free lunch, still prestigious

Cons

The technology leadership since 2025 has failed to improve the relationship with operational and finance stakeholders, to state a coherent strategy for their division, or to show any sort of consistent policy beyond hiring their buddies from previous jobs. They don’t seem to understand how technology is evolving despite constantly hyping up AI. They have failed to fulfill their promises on improving the experience for business and support stakeholders. The merger with Global Atlantic has been catastrophic. Decision making appears based more on politics than competence. On benefits - changed health insurance providers twice in two years.
