Pros

AGCS: very international, dynamic, diverse, challenging, great work/life balance, excellent place for young / mid age professionals, very profitable, many women in leading positions, many non-Germans in leading positions AGCS <> Allianz --> things much vary between the AZ operating entities

Cons

slow processes, not agile, very waterfall, development options for 50+ difficult, very political, kind of many cooks spoil the broth situation, many operating entities (OE) with a huge spread in corporate culture, values .. everything. It all depends on the OE where you work within Allianz, excellent ones and .. very German ones.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
