Pros

70% of the people are nice, mostly those are irish

Cons

- Most of the employees have no experience with insurance - The CEO is a typical former manager of a large management consulting firm, with all the disadvantages that such a consultant can bring (slides slides slides). - Worst of all, he inexplicably hasn't replaced the "top 'D'istribution executive" in years, even though that person hasn't achieved a single success. - This person has already scared away several good people who unfortunately left, even though they were very good. - Now the whole sales team is suffering until today and we are not managing to build a proper sales/growth structure. - All new employees get better contracts when it comes to remote work (flights are paid for, blah, blah, blah). - In this company there are more than 50% managers and less than 50% employees. - So communication between us and the c-level-team is a mess.

Pros

Smart, inclusive colleagues from diverse backgrounds who worked hard and had fun, even in a pressurised and toxic environment. Some of the executive team were incredible mentors and coaches, too. I really appreciated all of them, they kept me going near the end.

Cons

The company was a vanity project for the CEO who had no experience in tech or start-ups. You were only as good as the work you had done that day and mistakes threatened his ego. If you left the business and had won an award, your photo was removed from the wall.
