Global Atlantic reviews

GA pre-KKR acquisition vs now are two completely different firms. Cultural differences are massively inhibiting the so called integration. Half the office has been laid off, or quit before they could be laid off. Management thinks they’re hiding layoffs, but all they’re doing is causing massive tension and panic amongst employees trying to figure out if they’re next. The pay is far below market. They’re happy to promote you, but don’t expect much of a raise with it. The current compensation strategy incentivizes people to leave the firm. They’ll happily hire an external candidate and pay them far more, as much as 40-70k more than what you make, then act confused and offended that everyone’s leaving. We’re “one firm” with KKR, except in culture, attitude, pay, and everything else. How are you expecting everyone to hold hands and sing kumbaya when our peers at KKR are making 70k+ what we make and treat us all like children? Somehow, everyone is powerless when you ask for a raise. Everyone at the firm is in a constant state of waiting for the next year-end (for their promised promotion/raise) which never actually happens. Work life balance? Haven’t heard of it. Morale couldn’t be lower. Oh, and we’re not allowed to say Global Atlantic anymore. We’re now “the insurance business”….yeah ok.

Unqualified team leads. Managers who take 0 interest in your development or what you do on a day to day. you are just number on a spreadsheet. Only advancement is for those who are best friends with someone in the department that has an opening, you wont even hear about opportunities. They pretend to have goals/ development but they never make time to actual develop you in anyways. Your value is entirely based on how big your number is on the spreadsheet. They will never become involved in what you actually contribute.
