Verisk Analytics Reviews

Cons

Certain departments lack clear job responsibilities. Local religious culture was extremely prevalent and could lead to awkward interactions.

Cons

Office is currently undergoing construction so space is limited. Not sure when the project will be completed. Limited vegan options in the area.

Cons

Medical coverage is too expensive

Cons

Not a lot of work to be done. Not much opportunity to advance because it's such a small branch within a large branch in the SF office.

Cons

There are never ending organizational changes.

Cons

- Low salary as compared to industry standards and there is no transparency in deciding the compensation.
- Untrained managers don't know to get things done and as a result micro-manage their direct reports.
- There is no challenging the status quo. Many systems require remodeling and rethinking how business is being done, but new ideas are not encouraged.

Cons

afraid to spend money and time on necessary infrastructure

Cons

If you're in a department that is not well run, it's not an option to apply to transfer until having worked there a full year.
Also, workplace is diverse but the atmosphere favors the particulars of certain diversities much more than others.
PLUS: Managers sometimes delegate too much to team leaders and do not check out situations for themselves. This leads to "she said"-"he said" (etc.) situations and unfair discipline based on seniority but inaccurate info. if team leader is immature, petty, etc.

Cons

Technology debt and lack of integration

Cons

Business units are siloed and it often feels as if we are working against each other instead of working together. There is a clear attempt at top-down transparency, however most of it is the typical "this is what we're doing now, what we're doing next year" things. Most of which is known already.

Workspace is old school layout, computers are ancient, which makes working efficiently and effectively a daily challenge.

Working from home (if you qualify) is a new concept at this company believe it or not. Working remotely is considered a privilege...something that you are regularly reminded of, as if you're a child.

Compensation is fair depending on the job...but be sure to negotiate for the salary you really want before you accept the job. Annual increases are poor at best. Unless you are in a sales position, your bonus, after taxes, is equivalent to a cost of living increase.
