No doubt, AEGON/Transamerica Life Canada is a great place to work. But if you still need convincing, here’s what our employees have to say: “As a recent university graduate, I quickly realized that the best way to get acquainted with my colleagues throughout the organization was to get involved in corporate life through various AEGON committees. However, I had not anticipated that in joining those committees, I would be the beneficiary of a transformational personal development and professional growth opportunity. As a committee member, I learned and gained a wealth of experience from working alongside AEGON’s senior management and from liaising with the CEOs of large external organizations. To me, AEGON Canada is synonymous with truly offering its employees the opportunity to explore and realize their potential.” - Entry-Level Accountant, Financial & Business Analysis “Working for AEGON Canada has afforded me many great opportunities to develop my career and broaden my knowledge of insurance and investment products. The atmosphere in my department is dynamic and progressive, and both team and individual efforts are consistently recognized and rewarded.” - Manager, Document & Imaging Technologies Contact us anytime 5000 Yonge Street North York, ON M2N 7J8 416 883 5000 To learn more and explore our career opportunities, visit www.aegoncanada.com and go to the careers section.
