Pros: It's a big corporate firm, so job security usually feels pretty solid. Especially for long-term project work in risk management, you don't worry about being laid off constantly. The benefits package is decent, too, which adds to that feeling of stability for consultant roles.
Cons: Career growth can be a bit slow in some areas, especially for junior roles if you're not proactive. Sometimes, there's a lot of red tape, and decisions take forever. The hybrid work model is fine, but it can be tough to build strong connections with remote teammates.
Advice to Management: Streamline approval processes to speed things up for financial services projects. Also, find ways to better integrate hybrid teams so everyone feels connected, not just in the Chicago office.

Pros: Honestly, for an Actuarial Analyst, job security felt pretty solid. It's a huge company, a real large corporate player in the risk management space. Plenty of internal movement and opportunities if your project shifts.
Cons: They do reorganize teams often, which can feel a bit up in the air sometimes. The broader insurance brokerage market has its ups and downs too, so it's not always totally stable.
Advice to Management: Communicate changes more clearly, especially department-wide shifts. More transparency helps with job security concerns.

Pros: I liked working with smart folks in the Chicago office. The hybrid work schedule for my associate analyst role was really helpful. It's a stable, corporate environment, which is a pro for job security.
Cons: The company culture feels pretty top-down. There's not much innovation from the ground up, especially in the broader insurance brokerage industry. You can feel like a small cog in a huge machine sometimes.
Advice to Management: Try to empower employees at all levels, not just leadership. Foster a more collaborative and less hierarchical culture.
