Pros

* The company is trying to build a culture. * Very nice office and perks (snacks, drinks, beers). * Fantastic colleagues. * You can achieve a lot but you have to be dedicated and unstoppable because there is a fair amount of resistance to change. * The company seems to be trying to recover from some bad decisions made in the past.

Cons

* Changes happen slowly - just like in most of the insurance industry so plenty of patience is recommended. * Not everyone's piece of cake - management and development practices are quite different than what you'd expect in a startup-like company. * The seems to be more emphasis on short term tactics than long term strategy. Urgent might take precedence over important.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The company has significant issues that make it difficult to recommend as a long-term workplace. HR support is virtually non-existent, leaving employees without meaningful assistance when concerns arise. Favoritism appears to influence decisions more than performance or merit, creating an unfair work environment. There are very few opportunities for career growth, and many employees find themselves in stagnant roles with little chance for advancement. Even when employees consistently exceed expectations and earn recognition, raises are infrequent or nonexistent, making it difficult to feel valued for hard work. Additionally, there is a noticeable lack of professionalism at the management level. Communication, accountability, and leadership standards need significant improvement. Overall, the company would benefit from investing in stronger leadership, a more effective HR department, and a culture that rewards performance fairly.
