Pros
Liberty Mutual is not traded on Wall Street, so no more vain CEOs worried about the stock price. GREAT people to work with. Mid-level management is OK, and senior IT management is coming around. The flexibility of being able to work from home and set my own schedule somewhat has been one of the primary reasons I have stayed with the company, especially since the birth of my son last year.
Cons
Uncertainty with the sale of Safeco to Liberty Mutual. The somewhat dated IT culture that Liberty Mutual is bringing in. Mid-level and senior Liberty Mutual management is very cover-your-a**. That has been a very strange thing to witness. The thrashing that the Executive leadership put the company through the last couple of years has left some very deep scars. A lot of good, key people have left the company because of that.
Advice to Senior Management
I think that the company is headed in a good direction right now. Please don't take away the VPN option to employees.
