Pros

Some colleagues were nice to socialise with and most people were friendly. The staff socials were always the highlight of my time at the organisation.

Cons

Some managers and senior managers need training in how to support their more junior staff. Too many times over my career here did I see new colleagues leave because they received no support from their manager. There is a very high level of staff turnover and I would say the organisation is worse than their American competitors. Gallagher need to be more upfront in their interview process to explain what type of person they're looking for rather than hire and fire. Some staff only last a few days in their role as they're often missold the role and some of us have only stayed as long as we have because we don't want to jump around jobs too often. There are severe issues, such as bullying, in certain teams and you should avoid joining them - Global centre of accounting, Legal Entity Control to name a few. The IT support is poor too. Managers encouraged working until the early hours of the morning which is shocking! Also, salaries are not kept confidential as I was shocked and disgusted to find out that everyone in the team knew how much I received.

Pros

Salary was in market range.

Cons

Manager took zero interest in me. I spoke to her 2 times in the 6 months I was there. It’s just an endless grind to various SEC and investor required reporting. By the time you finish you need to start over. Almost all process are broken. This $13B company runs on excel. It’s a real risk that this company collapses on itself. They purchase companies and destroy everything good about their cultures. I was so happy and content until they purchased us. The executives paint a fake picture of their culture to the street.
