      Pros

      For many years it was an exciting, challenging and highly collaborative env built around a flat mgt structure that accepted risk in the pursuit of innovation. Some great foot soldiers remain in the trenches, hence the 2 stars.

      Cons

      In recent years mgt change has killed all of the positives. A series of bad choices at the c-suite level has resulted in in-fighting, no real strategy, and a re-org that which will take years to recover from. I expect some sycophantic UME lackey will respond by saying I was a victim of the re-org or challenging what I’ve said. Such defensive responses are clearly signs of a company in trouble. Leaving was one of the best career decisions I have ever made.

      Pros

      Nothing related to UnderwriteMe, only the parent company whose benefits filtered down.

      Cons

      Where do I start. Majority of the senior team do not have any idea how to run a product engineering organisation. Constant change in priorities, nothing delivered of any note. Constant change in senior team members with no improvement. Non-existent strategy. Constant surveys but nothing done with them. Management do not listen to employees. Constant in-fighting. Terrible blame culture, each silo protecting their own and blaming the other team. Complete lack of accountability. Data driven and metric driven, unless you are management who impose changes on 'gut feel'.
