Aon reviews

Very long workdays and you have to fight for time to be with family and kids during the week. The business is focussed on its core services and it really doesn’t understand why other business areas need to be run differently. In my case, I worked in a strongly data led business which really hindered the growth of genuine advisory teams and led to some really strange discussions with more senior leadership. There does not seem to be a long term plan or shared goal for the business and there is a real short term focus in place. There is a strong sense of favouritism in the business and this leads to some very strange promotion decisions resulting in some very good people getting frustrated and leaving. Finance is very strong as a function (part of the short term focus) and they have too strong a hold over decision making

Leadership doesn’t care that you have to work long hours (evening and weekends) to meet deadlines. Managers play favourites and if they don’t like you, have the ability to block you from moving up.
