Pros

I can just think of one thing - just the work facility

Cons

Filled with selfish very cunning beings. The leadership team is the worst - they can neither take decisions nor own up to any decent decisions. They just keep delaying ideas and spread more toxic around. Oh there is one thing they all do very well - presurise to do things at the nth minute. And then they have the audacity to judge people saying shirty job.

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.
