Pros

I worked at ISO/Verisk for 8 years in their marketing department. I found it was a great place to work. I was able to advance my career significantly through hard work and demonstrated success. I left because I was recruited for a great opportunity at another organization. --Great work-life balance --Well run company --Stable and growing --Entrepreneurial atmosphere, if you are self motivated you can control your own destiny --The people are great --Headquarters is accessible via public transit of all kinds (train, subway/PATH, bus, etc)

Cons

Depending on where you are in the enterprise the hierarchy can be quite flat (as it should be). This can lead to frustration for managers of “A players” as advancement opportunities can be limited. This is a common issue, a leadership development program might help.

Pros

The people. I worked with genuinely talented, hardworking colleagues who showed up for each other and for the work, even when leadership made that hard.

Cons

Leadership at the senior level was chaotic and unclear, and it trickled down into everything. Projects routinely landed with little to no notice, leaving teams scrambling instead of planning. Budgets were micromanaged from the top while strategic direction was not — a strange mix of tight control over spending and almost no clarity on priorities. Communication from senior leadership rarely made it down to the people actually doing the work, so teams were often the last to know about decisions that directly affected them. There was also a clear undercurrent of fear among some senior leaders that discouraged any real innovation or experimentation — better to play it safe than propose something new. If you're someone who thrives on clarity, planning, and a culture that rewards new ideas, this is not that environment.
