      Assistant vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - people are from many cultures and have very different backgrounds - people are smart and interesting - exciting (career)opportunities in various areas (also career changes) - cultural initiatives (sponsors theaters, museums, concerts, etc) - socially responsible company (CO2 compensation, "community days", etc) - fringe benefits: great employee restaurant, sports clubs, discounted tickets etc

      Cons

      - one employee is a "small number" - "silo" thinking - many rather want to "look" and appear good instead of helping others - many reorganizations for individuals to show off (as in many large companies:) - "employees" may be #2 priority (after stakeholders) - not individually, though, but as a whole only

      Corso - property underwriter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
