Pros

Internal mobility. Wonderful and wickedly smart co-workers. Great benefits.

Cons

Management and Senior Leaders - initiatives constantly changing before the company is able to see the result of the work. Competing priorities. Mixed messaging. Company makes too much money and throws it around at the next shiny object that grabs their attention....to the detriment of the employee's work/life balance.

Pros

1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

Cons

1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
