Pros
Different sub-divisions have different cultures. The focus of the organization changes between Geographies of growth i.e. international vs. domestic (Canada) as well as domestically it focusses more so to invest in the more smaller BU's which are making decent Turn over for SLF for e.g. Investments/Individual. The Group Business appear to be more of a stable businesses and are merely becoming a production facility which are expected to contribute substantially to meet financial deliverables The Group division where I work Finance/Actuarial seem to be a knowledge house and some of the very talented smart statisticians work in this area which allows enough opportunity to keep one mentally challenged enough Culture somewhat laid back albeit lots of Ad-Hoc work keeps coming down the pipeline as well
Cons
Lack of Work Life balance (limited work from home opportunities) Lack of a defined career progression HR not upto Par in offering any support whatsoever
