Our take
Prima is an insurtech company that distributes online insurance policies for cars, motorcycles, and vans. Through its online services, it enables its users to save time and manage all aspects of their insurance policies.
The company focuses on offering competitive products and a platform that is fast, easy to use and that allows it to share the value it can generate with the application of data and the continuous implementation of technology.
The company now boasts over 2.5 million active clients and over €650 million of gross written premiums, Prima is one of the most successful insurtech players in the world.
Prima entered a very competitive but extremely traditional market only a few years ago. The company has already brought considerable innovation to the industry and are now focusing on expanding globally. As part of this, they are focused on increasing their headcount in the UK and Spanish markets.

Since onboarding with Prima, I've found everyone to be welcoming, and friendly. Small talk isn't as common as more friendly open chatter before meetings- which I like. It feels really genuine

My opinions are valued
Jul 2022
As a parent, post-covid, flexible working is much appreciated, as pour lives have changed, and work life balance has taken on a while new meaning. There are core key hours everyone works, but if you are more productive in the morning, you can use that to your advantage. If you enjoy a run on your lunchbreak, this is also allowed - so long as you're accounting for the work that needs to be completed.

I've never had a better onboarding experience than I have at Prima. Everyone was so keen to introduce themselves and make me feel welcome. I was given a clear 90-day plan, so I knew what to expect right away and never felt overwhelmed. Plus, the welcome pack full of thoughtful merch and snacks was a lovely touch!
