Business Outlook

Pros

We are truly industry leaders in human capital and thought leadership. The willingness to commit resource is truly commendable and keeps us at the forefront.

Cons

It is a safe place to work allowing which may be nice, but it breeds complacency and an environment where some who excel and are risk takers leave for better recognition.

Pros

-Access to the industry's top brokerage professionals -Strong emphasis on analytics and analytical tools like actuarial models, catastrophe models, financial models, including proprietary tools like Metarisk -Exceptionally strong client base that provides employees with a unique and broad view of the industry -The firm is diversifying it's revenue stream geographically and positioning itself well to obtain revenue from value added analytical services in future

Cons

-Despite great overall culture some high performers are challenging personalities to work with -Soft market is challenging clients to buy less reinsurance and puts pressure on revenue and margin -Man times there needs to be better team work between Brokers and Analytics (actuaries and cat modelers) on client teams (but in some instances it is working very well) -Still behind in Europe, but gaining momentum

Pros

You won't find a more unique and interesting group of people. Integrity and respect are at the forefront of the company.

Cons

Opportunities for growth and advancement are limited, and the management continues to cut resources while trying to also increase revenue. There is very little incentive to work harder as merit seems to count for very little.
