Pros

Good exposure to global insurance companies, if that's what you're after Work-life balance is good in most teams

Cons

1. Pay is the worst (compared to other consultants) 2. Benefits are scant 3. Management is uninterested in your growth at best and actively hostile to it at worst 4. Management will lie through their teeth to you about the possibilities at the firm, from different clients you can work with to international mobility (generally available only for Americans, Australians and Europeans) - e.g. management threatened to withhold my promotion and then actually did so because I expressed a desire to work in other offices 5. The firm is legendarily incompetent at implementing in-house the advice it sells to clients (e.g. it might take you 3-4 weeks to go through an interview process for a job in another country but the global mobility team will take anywhere between 6 months and 2 years to actually get you to the other country AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOVERNMENT DELAYS) 6. They sell themselves as a data-driven organisation but don't have useful data, don't have ideas on how to collect useful data, cannot properly collate any data they do collect, actively oppose moving that data or making it usable and have lots of useless discussions about how to digitise paper records 7. Aon United is largely a sham - if you are bringing in lots of revenue, you are at perfect liberty to be hostile and uncooperative towards people outside your division while senior executives will convene meetings complete with PowerPoint slides that offer no practical recommendations on how to implement collaboration and are largely useless (like the advice they give clients)
