AIA Australia Employee Review

Productive and collaborative

Business Analyst (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 21 November 2022

A lot of good skilled people but pockets of silos. they have re-organised their place and kept key people which meant that all knowledge falls on one person and do they become the senior manager etc. This has created a Hierarchical structure.

Great Company in general

Group Claims Assessor (Former Employee) - Sydney, NSW - 16 April 2018

However some poor management decisions adversely affected the culture. A shift from good management styles to hiring of micromanaging style managers degraded the culture within the business.

Pros

good work life balance

Cons

minimal opportunities for career progression

Poor Underwriting Leadership

Underwriter (Current Employee) - Mebourne VIC - 21 November 2022

AIA used to be such a high performance and fun organisation. EVERYONE in life insurance wanted to work for AIA. Then the Royal Commission hit the industry hard, AIA took over CommInsure which had a terrible brand and a restructure followed. For reasons unknown to all of us, AIA decided to give leadership roles to Underwriters without any leadership skills or experience and we are paying the price.

Pros

None

Cons

Too many

Toxic work environment

Senior Developer (Former Employee) - Mebourne VIC - 24 September 2022

Do not work for this company. It operates with no process model in place. I won’t be surprised if they disappear from the market. Once you are in, you will be stuck with no future advancement. The organisation does not know where it is heading. CEO will be mandating things like work from office when rest of the world is operating in hybrid model. It’s like my way or the highway. There will be resources sitting with no work for over 2 years in some departments as managers don’t know who is doing what, while there would be others ending up doing 3 peoples job. Worst place to work for and management is very bad. There is no role clarity, people try to palm off things. Decision making is worse. They bring in people from DB consultants who leave mess but no one says or does anything to make this a better place for employees
