Culture at Allianz Australia

Strong company culture, everyone is extremely approachable and easygoing. In office everyone has goals and ambitions which are streamlined from management down.

A strong culture, particularly in my first team. A low hierarchy where socialising is encouraged and very little overtime.

It's amazing catching up with my peers and colleagues during lunch or even after hours. We tend to have fortnightly sessions with our team where we bond and talk about anything but work.

Working culture is very healthy and supportive.

Great deal of teamwork and cooperation, lunch time is spent socialising with colleagues and fortnightly virtual catch ups with the team that are not work related. There is structure in terms of who you report to but otherwise there is no restriction on who you can reach out to.

In the office: - Structure and hierarchy: Allianz maintains a structured hierarchy typical of large organisations, with clear lines of authority and responsibility. However, the environment is not overly rigid, and there is a significant degree of openness and approachability, especially within teams. - Cooperation and teamwork: Teamwork is highly encourages, and cross-functional collaboration is a key aspect of the company's operations. Employees often work together on projects, bringing in diverse perspectives from various departments. - Supportive environment: There is a strong focus on mentoring and professional development. Senior employees and managers are generally supportive and invested in the growth of their team members. - Innovation and continuous improvement: The culture promotes innovation and continuous improvement, with employees encouraged to suggest and implement new ideas.

There are regular team building activities, social events, and informal gatherings that help strengthen bonds between colleagues. - Work-life balance: The company values work-life balance, with flexible working arrangements and policies that support employees' wellbeing.

Overall, Allianz is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone feels values and respected. There is a strong emphasis on employee well-being, with various programs and initiatives aimed at supporting mental health.

Everyone is super friendly and there have already been loads of in office and after hours events that have all been great.

There is a great emphasis on flexibility and making sure you bring your 'whole' self for work. We are encouraged to work sensible hours and not to overextend ourselves. Meeting free days and wellbeing initiatives are common. Even while pivoting to hybrid work, teams stayed connected and continued to collaborate using technology tools.

Very friendly, relaxed in the office. After hours drinks, organised activities (e.g. trivia nights) and team lunches. Hierarchy exists and is followed strictly for everything work related, but dissolves quickly when not discussing/doing work. Teamwork/cooperation is good in many tasks, but sometimes falls apart if communicating with different offices.

lots of social events, leadership is very busy but also supportive

It is very friendly and collaborative. Quite a flat hierarchy which I enjoy.

Opportunities for socialising outside of work and supportive environment inside the office

They're very chill and able to accept me for who I am, and are willing to open up have a good conversation with me.

Varies between departments, however overall experience has been great. Most are approachable and helpful. Graduates are taken seriously and are given opportunities if you put your hand up.

Very flexible with working, definitely feel supported and have a good social network

Everyone is very approachable and willing to help, regardless of their position. As graduates, we mostly work in different teams. However, we often have social outings when possible.

A very supportive culture, leaders encourage regular breaks and initiate social events, such as a weekly games session. New ideas are always welcomed and discussed, a very positive environment

Our culture is very welcoming, being able to welcome employees from different cultures and backgrounds. I was able to get along with my teammates and the other graduates, and others were willing to help and assist me with my work.
