Pros

I worked at a division of Verisk located in Texas. The office was nice with a fairly casual dress code. They were great at doing little things like monthly employee relations events, a program to recognize colleagues for going above and beyond, and closing early prior to holidays. The pay was good given the area. You also have access to all open job listings across the entire company.

Cons

Most of the employees have been working there for 10+ years and most of them doing the same job for that amount of time. As a result, management was really hands off and put very little effort into working on career development with anyone. It was more like they just let everything run on auto pilot. Also, they tend to hire from outside to fill open management positions. Several shockingly sexist comments were made by two members of management in my presence on multiple occasions. I couldn't believe such things still occur in a professional environment in 2015. If you want a job doing the same thing day after day with little career growth or development, then it's a great place to work. If you are ambitious and want a company that offers a career path, you may want to look elsewhere.

Thanks very much for your feedback. We appreciate your advice to management and, in fact, in the last 9 months or so, have been working closely with Executive Management to enhance managerial competence across the enterprise. For example, we are currently planning a series of training programs for all managers based on the acclaimed book, The Extraordinary Coach, Our focus continues to be on developing our culture based on the three tenets of The Verisk Way: Serve, Add Value, and Innovate. Of course, your report of inappropriate comments is very disturbing and we have already begun an investigation and education program in our Texas locations to ensure that all employees are treated with respect and dignity.

Pros

I have been a product manager at several companies, and it is genuinely one of the best environments I have worked in. Verisk provides a unique opportunity to work closely with customers, engineering, design, and leadership to solve meaningful problems and deliver products that create business value. Product managers are trusted to help shape strategy and influence key decisions. Teams collaborate effectively, and there is a shared commitment to delivering high quality outcomes for customers. Leadership is approachable and receptive to new ideas, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged.

Cons

Navigating insurance regulatory requirements and customer compliance can occasionally slow feature development and release timelines.
