Pros

The people on my team worked well together.

Cons

The CHRO promoted a team member who was not qualified to be a Manager, and he pushed his work off on the team. Most teams are overworked and made promises, to hire more staff, that were not kept. Upper management created a lie and I was fired and said there was an investigation and will not share it with me or any information to support the accusations. After I left, I heard several similar stories from other employees that this happened to also. After I left, I reached out to the CEO to discuss and clarify my termination. He gave my request to someone else in the C Suite to "deal with". Nothing was resolved.

Pros

The commitment to flexibility and hybrid work is amazing! The US has a very robust benefits offering. There are several learning and development programs with a diverse range of offerings from self-paced training to more interactive live courses. The people are incredible, you will not find nicer company.

Cons

Verisk is an environment for "do-ers". This is a great place to build your career if you have great work ethic and are motivated to ty new things.

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.
