Too many good people leaving

Pros

Great, if you live in Switzerland.

Cons

To achieve a $1.5BB savings, many people are being asked to leave since the commercial book of business is driving the losses.

Pros

I've worked here for a year and in that time have seen Senior Management and the Execs really engage and focus on it's people, both from a customer focus and it's staff. I love the honesty here in that there are still improvements to be made but it's being embraced and viewed as a chance to really make things better. You can be as progressive in your career as you want; we're encouraged to actively take responsibility for our own development and there are loads of really great courses available on our Learning Hub. These are a mixture of external and internal courses from Management courses to becoming an Excel wizard! If you are proactive, it's a great place to be, if you aren't, it's not going to drop in your lap! I'm actively encouraged to look across the business to see where I can become involved in other projects and broaden my horizons and also work from home twice a week. The flexibility is really great. Our benefits package has just been revamped and has some great new offerings that are really competitive -combined with a 12% pension and health care, pretty good overall.

Cons

The legacy of several mergers and some pockets of historical challenge remain but they are being challenged and worked on -Rome wasn't built in a day!

Pros

It was a good company 5 years ago Benefits are competitive (pension, private health) with the exception of bonuses Work/life balance is acceptable A lot of good (but undervalued) people

Cons

Invisible leadership - particularly UK CEO Weak managers Increasing staff turn over Obsessed with outsourcing, selling business segments and constant redundancies Very much who you know, not what you know Lack of IT investment - charging premium fees for mediocre customer experience Heavily focused on driving share price and increasing the dividend at the expense of customer experience, propositional quality or staff retention.
