      Pros

      Good pay and flexible working. In the process of transforming the business.

      Cons

      Not for those who want to make a difference or be challenged in a good way. Extremely hierarchical. Decision making falls in the wrong hands. People react due to fear as opposed to working proactively. Set in their ways and management do not listen. Disempowering when people who can add value get shot down by those who shout the loudest or intentional excluded. People spend time on creative ways hide bad results rather focus on ways to fix the problem. A lot of time and effort wasted on appeasing senior management on tick box exercises as opposed to anything meaningful. Poor change management and resulting remediation is a constant embarrassment.

      THE WORST PLACE TO WORK

      Pros

      There are some amazing people working at QBE and I really am not sure why they stay but it's fantastic to have their support when you're all treated so badly.

      Cons

      QBE deserves to be investigated. What I learnt very quickly on, the spiel of "we care about our people" comes from top down and it's laid on thick but it's absolutely not the truth. You are treated like a number on a spreadsheet. There are changes constantly to management, reporting lines and business structures. The wrong people with the bad attitudes on the biggest power trips are being promoted fueling the workplace toxicity. Reports of workplace bullying are ignored (looking at you HR) and the bullies get away with murder. This was the worst company I have ever worked for. They do not practice anything they preach. Massive turnover in staff for a reason! Read the room QBE - stop promoting the bullies.
