Pros

You can be mediocre for years and survive. Very few people ever get fired from Aon however rubbish they are.

Cons

There is no thought from leadership on how to get anything done. Strategy is set at such a high level globally that it never passes down to anyone who actually does work. And the strategy lacks any sort of substance and often means nothing. The global message is Deliver Aon United but even departments who have offices 100km apart don’t do the same thing or even talk to each other. In 50 years I’ve never know a company who is less United in their approach of anything compared to Aon. Every team, region, department, business line does their own thing. The hole company is held together with sticking plaster. The company values new D&I hires more than existing colleagues. Minorities get promoted faster than historic majorities. If you are of the historic majority you won’t get promoted. People are over worked and under appreciated and there is a culture of ‘once you are senior enough you can dump on anyone below you without consequence’. Aon invests heavily in mental health medical support because it creates so many mental health problems with its colleagues because of the stressful working environment and the pressure it puts people under. There are countless stories of people going off sick for mental health reasons and never coming back. There is a lot of fake success reported and idea theft. Many senior people lie about progress of projects to ‘look successful’. The culture is very toxic.
