Pros
Competitive pay that aligns with industry standards. Collaborative work environment with supportive and talented colleagues. Strong bonus structure—most employees are eligible for performance-based bonuses. Generous benefits package, including healthcare, retirement plans, and paid time off. Opportunities for professional growth and development through training programs and internal mobility. Flexibility in work-life balance, with options for remote or hybrid work depending on the role. Global presence, offering exposure to diverse markets.
Cons
QBE is currently undergoing significant changes, many of which are not clearly communicated to the broader team. Leadership turnover has been high, with several senior leaders leaving, and the lack of transparency is noticeable across the organization. The recent exit from the middle market business led to numerous layoffs, with affected employees receiving little to no advance notice. The once people-focused culture seems to be shifting toward a more corporate, business-driven environment—professional, yet lacking the personal and collaborative spirit it once had. As QBE seeks to rebrand itself as a specialty lines insurer, these transitions are likely to continue until the company fully defines its new direction.
