Pros

Costa on site, best conversation. Good place to get training on how to be two-faced.

Cons

You can be intelligent and efficient - but not too much. You're colleagues and managers are all about self preservation. If they say 1+1 = 5 ...then just say "5" ...keep the peace. But if you have an ounce of self-respect you'd tell them straight. Local Staff have college diplomas at best, whilst the off-shore guys have MBAs and tech certificates. Treated as 2nd class citizens. Are we back to Victorian times ?

Pros

Great culture, people are helpful

Cons

Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

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.
