Pros

Flex Time is nice...you have the ability to WFH when you need to. But it doesn't mean you still won't put in a 10 hour day.

Cons

No consideration for time with family...you're working 24/7.

Slow moving, non-challenging but still learning experience

Business Outlook

Pros

I would consider the benefits package and the fact of being part fo a major insurance organization in the world as good reasons.

Cons

Very unstable market positioning, high turn-over, lack of culture and below average staff as downsides or opportunities to be taken into considerations. Salaries are awfull even worst than insurance player which are also under when comparing top tier companies. Not clear career opportunities and impssibility to identify and rotate talents.
