Pros

- Great Dev Tools - Solid communication and leadership structure - Good work / life balance

Cons

- Lack of innovative or interesting initiatives - Lack of salary growth and remote work has lead to purge of top talent during Covid - Overall a risk averse company that doesn't seem interested in becoming a major insurer

I appreciate your feedback and am happy to see the positives you listed. I encourage you to speak with your manager about the initiatives you’re working on and see if there’s a possibility to work on a project that interests you more when there’s an opportunity to do so. As an insurance company, we’re in the business of measuring and managing risk, which means we make decisions carefully. However, this has helped us grow among Fortune 1000 companies. Please continue sharing your feedback with your manager—the more we know, the more we can take into consideration as we look for improvements. Jim Frank – Chief Information Officer

Pros

Multiple office locations across the country Hybrid system for those that like to be in office

Cons

Poor communication Low pay compared to other industry positions Software is old and outdated Positions that are typically salary are hourly based Most "surveys" to gauge employee sentiment are constructed in such a way that no negative feedback can be left Hybrid or in office is required, no option for full remote If you happen to be full remote, there is no upward mobility possible for you, period. Excessive workload Not very good benefits
