Pros
You'd be incredibly surprised about the breadth of L&G - we touch the financial products that all of us need throughout all of our lives: from Life Insurance to later life living, from Pensions, through to ISAs, Lifetime Mortgages & our Care propositions. And we focus on making it easier, better & more accessible to our customers in every way that we can. Everyone really cares here.
Plus L&G also invests in really entrepreneurial & ethical new areas like Affordable Homes & our underpinning Inclusive Capitalism overarching purpose that allows us to invest in the evolution of our cities and our environmentally friendly future.
It's a big company that can do incredible amounts of good, but it also feels small, authentic & manageable. It has a wide variety of roles, from customer facing, regulator facing, through to digital, engineering, actuarial roles, customer service & financial services SMEs. Our Digital Teams here have grown exponentially over the years and will only continue to get bigger and better.
Women and men excel alike. There are many women in top roles & it's never felt unbalanced here at L&G. Indeed annual reviews of pay scales take place unprompted to ensure equality continues to be a top priority. Location-wise we're dotted across many lovely places across the UK too, so it provides variety in where you can base yourself.
Cons
We are a company on a big journey with a strong mission but it can, like in all large organisations, take a while to get there. We're not as nimble as the start-ups and do have the expected amount of legacy tech behind us, but that's because we're a company that's been doing business for a long time. That said, there are many plans in place to allow us to both catch up & move ahead - we all play our role in creating that future.
