Actuarial Analyst Review
What I liked
Good exposure to large-scale insurance products and strong actuarial teams. Flexible hours helped with study time for exams.
Areas for improvement
Promotion cycles favor more senior hires and salary increases can be slow. The company still has pockets of siloed teams which makes project work harder.
Senior Software Engineer Review
What I liked
Strong mentorship, clear technical roadmap, and generous learning budget. Hybrid setup works well for focused work and collaboration days.
Areas for improvement
Decision-making can be slow at times and cross-team coordination is bureaucratic. Promotion timelines are not always transparent.
HR Business Partner Review
What I liked
Great-West Lifeco provides strong parental leave, good benefits, and a culture that supports work-life balance. Lots of internal mobility across regions.
Areas for improvement
Internal processes can be slow and there is still some legacy HR tech that makes day-to-day tasks clunky.
Claims Adjuster Review
What I liked
Stable employer with good benefits and decent job security. Colleagues were supportive and the training when I started was helpful.
Areas for improvement
Base pay is low compared to market, and there is limited upward mobility in my team. Workload spikes during peak claims seasons led to long hours.
Financial Advisor (Contracted Sales) Review
What I liked
Competitive commission structure and access to a wide product set. The remote setup allows me to manage clients across provinces easily.
Areas for improvement
Sales targets can be aggressive and support from operations can lag when issues arise. Onboarding could be more consistent across regions.
