Cons

Really not too much to complain about . I have been working for 20 years and this is the best place I've worked at.

Pros

The interview process was detailed, easy and not long. unlike some other companies, Metromile said they were going to fast track my interview once they found out I had other offers coming. They did so very quickly the process was seamless. Brigitte who was my recruiter did a fantastic job!

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

I work for the Enterprise Business Services division of Metromile . Metromile is split into two business units the core insurance business and the SaaS software business. I cannot speak much about the B2C insurance business but the B2B software business is an incredible growth opportunity. We are tackling the big problems that insurance companies face and delivering software to help them automate and digitize all their touch points with customers. This group is a startup within the larger Metromile firm and gives those working here an enormous amount of autonomy and ability to make an impact on the bottom line and direction of the business. If you have a good idea you are likely to be told to run with it and see what you can do. Lots of pivots and change but an awesome place to be if you like that high paced, high impact kind of work.

Cons

Growth is tough and keeping our super flat management structure and ensuring everyone has the same ability to be heard and steer the ship as we grow will be hard. Also related to pros this is a place that is hard charging to deliver solutions with a small and nimble team so when working here you have to be up for a little craziness and the occasional long work day (there is a lot of respect for work life balance though still!). We have some growing pains for sure as a group but I like being part of the team that is building the foundation for something big.

Pros

The culture is great and so are the people that work here (with the exception of senior leadership). The benefits are great with the exception of not offering competitive 401k match or annual bonuses like big carriers usually do.

Cons

Ive been in the claims industry for 7+ years and can truly say this is the work carrier so far in terms of no work life balance. This is a salaried position and you are expected to work more than 8 hours a day (I would work sometimes up to 11-12 hours daily just to stay caught up) so pretty much work overtime and not get paid for it. The workload is very heavy so expect to be under constant pressure. Senior management comes from Progressive & State Farm so don’t expect the “start up” vibes from them. They are very corporate and care more about the numbers vs people. As a full time student it was nearly impossible to be successful both here and school. Don’t recommend if you have anything outside of work going on. They do not offer a 401k match.

Pros

* The possibility of revolutionizing an age-old industry is still thrilling as ever. * Opportunities abound to take initiative, earn more responsibility, make an impact * Leadership that listens to employee feedback (we asked for 401k matching, and lo and behold, we have 401k matching now!) * There is alignment across departments now more than ever. * No politicking. Genuinely nice people who care about their work. It's nice that we can disagree over work matters instead of clashing over personalities. * Good work-life balance and flexibility

Cons

* As is the case for any company that is trying to scale rapidly after a cash infusion, there is more work than there are people to do it (until we can hit hiring goals). We could do a better job of saying no / not yet to certain goals and initiatives that we just aren't staffed for yet.
