Pros

An excellent company with great benefits and plenty of activities. The managers are responsible, and especially after the new CEO took office, the company has become more pragmatic and more focused on performance.

Cons

challenges with slower processes and some misallocation of manpower and resources in certain functions

We’re glad the culture and supportive colleagues have been meaningful in your experience. We know large organisations can sometimes feel complex, and we're constantly working to simplify decision making where possible. Thank you for your review.

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.
