Hemant Shah
Current Employee – been working at Risk Management Solutions

Cons – Not much process oriented. You will feel that very less time is spent on designing, because the project requirements are not properly defined
Advice to Senior Management – Please work with Employees

Current Employee – been working at Risk Management Solutions full-time
Pros – Good teamwork, but only within your own team. Lots of things to learn in model development site. Salaries and benefits tolerable. Good location away from much of the gridlocked parts of the Bay. Parent company seems well invested but still hands off.
Cons – Reorg after reorg. Massive failure to communicate between departments. Company moving forward so fast it is leaving many teams behind. Often unreasonable deadlines. Politics are terrible.
CEO is nice guy, but lacks ability to maintain course more than a year. Company seems like it has ADHD and is not on any meds for it.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop the reorgs. Stop dividing up the company into so many "teams" that do not communicate or know what each other is doing or what the needs are of your core employees/teams.

Former Employee – worked at Risk Management Solutions
Pros – Interesting line of business (catastrophe risk management). Well educated people and overall nice. Fair compensation. Good benefits. Respect for work-life balance.
Cons – Jobs are often boring and repetitive. No proper use of people's skills and education. Managers with technical background but lacking people skills and basic general knowledge. Too many approximations and lack of quality in the products. Advancement and promotions are limited.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't let RMS become a factory. Mind more for product quality. Diversify RMS knowledge base. Offer more opportunities for growth.
