Pros

Global company, strategically growing. Competitive salaries.

Cons

You may go through 4-5 interview rounds, be sure to spend as much time interviewing THEM, especially the person you would directly report to, as they spend interviewing you. I soon learned my VP was insecure, inconsiderate, controlling, and lacked some basic leadership skills. She was quick to point out the smallest of flaws and incapable of verbalizing and appreciating when a task was well done.

Pros

Benefits, colleagues, opportunities (for some)

Cons

Management. CIO and some upper management is shady. They play games with their own people at review time and boldly lie into your face. Use your own colleagues to compare and rate your work but do not realize you know they are lying.

Pros

Great benefits and work life balance. In general a fun company to work for. The people were great.

Cons

Micromanagement from senior management. The management team had a hard time making decisions. There is lots of turnover on several teams including underwriting talent and management. The culture was not there.
