Pros

Full independence, you have total control of your success or lack thereof. This is not the type of place you will only have insurance available. If you came from NW or NYL, and you want to do investments, this is the place. If you fail here, you will likely fail elsewhere. The ability to earn investment business alongside insurance is unmatched in the industry.

Cons

The initial financing period could be better. Getting off the ground from bare concrete is very tough.,

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
