Aon reviews

Pretty much everything else. This can be a highly politically charged environment. Many colleagues are matrixed to several managers, and no one knows what the others are doing. Everything is exceedingly bureaucratic. There are left over turf wars from the huge merger with Hewitt, and pity the employee who doesn't duck for cover when the fur gets to flying. Senior management gets one star, only because zero stars is not an option.

McKinsey was brought in years ago to organize the business, which it sorely needed after years of almost-random acquisitions, but it went a bit overboard at applying a cookie-cutter approach that often did not apply to certain business segments. The company took the outsourcing idea to ridiculous levels. A poetic example: When I quit the firm after 14 years of service I learned that my exit interview was outsourced to another firm. Case closed.
