Pros

Currently in the process of migrating developer experience to more modern and open-source tools, or at least off the legacy, half-broken mess from when the company was more of an insurance company using tech and less of a tech company selling insurance.

Cons

Lots of cowboy coding on my team. No automated tests, no code reviews, lack of expertise from the top down. Leads to lots of fire-fighting.

I had the opportunity to meet Nancy Pierce during a visit to our office, and she was very personable and engaging. It made a strong impression to see leadership so approachable and willing to connect with employees. Overall, I genuinely enjoy working here and feel supported in my role.

No significant downsides to mention at this time.

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
