Pros

Great work life balance, flexible hybrid/remote schedule, team activities, great people to work with, job security (not sure how long that last though.) etc

Cons

Used to be a great company but now everything going sideways. A lot of great talents left the company recently, especially from senior leadership and dev side due to the lack of direction from leadership and frequent re organization. Flagship product is a giant legacy code base and each year its getting worse by adding new features instead addressing defects. No career growth, most probably get stuck on one team and not able to work on new technologies like cloud side or new frameworks unless you are in that specific team. Concentrating on automation is good but ignoring manual QA on each release and forcing devs to do that job was the first step to failure. Product leadership is a mess, only a couple of people knows the product very well to make every day decision. Its just a matter of time other competitors going to catch up with Xacimate if they havent act up on. Used to have a job security but seems like Verisk started with contractors and not sure how far that would goes.

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.
