Radian Guaranty Reviews

Pros

Pay was good, tried to implement employee engagement type programs. Health and wellness became an important activity, as well as financial well being of the company.

Cons

By promoting health and wellness, they were trying to shove the consumer driven health plans down everyone's throats. ANd, if you didn't select one of the consumer driven plans you were penalized by pay double and triple what you paid for the same insurance the prior year.

Some leaders are all about themselves and behave poorly. One in particular cuts people down and belittles them behind their backs, but is oh so sweet to their face. It's a travesty for an executive leader to behave in this fashion.

Advice to Senior Management

Get a team in their that really wants to make Radian a success. Build a team that really does want to engage the employees in both operational and professional areas.

Pros

Lots of day's off and other benefits are industry standard.
Pay was exceedingly high to the point of shocking.

Cons

The HQ office is a sad and depressing place (don't let the front desk fool you) and full of low hanging poorly lite tall cube's.
Poor communication from top to middle managers.
Poor communication between employee's. Lots of backstabbing - what a mess the training team is.
Not much internal support for your position. Doing a lot with a little is such an overstatement here.
Lots of "cant do" responses (see what happens when you layoff people - they become afraid to do anything!)
How many floors of "IT" are there? How can you lay-off anything BUT those guys.

Advice to Senior Management

How is it possible a company can go from where it was to where it is today and have no leadership change other than a layoff a few months ago. I understand the industry is in a poor spot but I would argue if he's the one who got you into that mess then he needs to be shown the door. Slowbleeding layoff's are poor tact and destroy morale. When will companies realize this!!!!!

Pros

* Smart people
* Trying to change and improve

Cons

* Competitive industry creates job pressures
* Could be somewhat political within departments
