Allianz reviews

The company is highly target driven, you often find yourself rushing to get inspections done and hit your targets. You have a minimum contracted hours of 35 inclusive of travel, however, you can rarely achieve all tasks a week throws at you in 35 hours and you often feel pushed to work 40 or more hours in a salary based role where these hours generally go unaccounted for. They rely on a lot of good will from the surveyors to achieve everything required. Progression is limited and not adequately compensated, more senior positions offer a small salary increase in exchange for the expectation of many unpaid hours each week. Training is in house with very few if any industry standard qualifications or training offered. Senior management have little idea about the real world day to day life of a surveyor and many have never surveyed, instead judge based on data from spreadsheets. Pay increases can be declined at managers discretion sited to “performance” or spreadsheet data.

The HR and managers at this organization exhibit a clear bias towards individuals from Kerala, evident in their promotion practices and preference for Kerala-based employees. Operational decisions are centralized in Kerala, leading to a lack of equal treatment for staff from non-Malayalam states. Managers consistently prioritize awards and salary hikes for their Kerala counterparts, while neglecting individuals from other regions. Communication breakdowns are apparent, with managers failing to connect or interact with team members, particularly non-Malayalam employees. This biased behavior extends to shouting and insulting employees from Maharashtra in front of the entire team for minor mistakes, contrasting with the more considerate approach towards Kerala counterparts. Despite Kerala's high literacy rate, there is a notable bias against individuals from non-Malayalam states, risking the career development of both experienced professionals and freshers. Prospective employees should approach joining this organization with caution, considering the potential challenges associated with regional biases.
