Pros

* Great work-life balance * Everybody is willing to teach, learn, and promote growth * Only two days in the office a week * Great compensation right out of college with no prior experience * Work load varies greatly, but for the most part it's more than manageable

Cons

* Steep learning curve if coming out of college or have no insurance experience * Not great overall training * Not a lot of growth opportunities if you're in underwriting * Unless you have ample experience, will have to wait for the possibility to go fully remote (if even provided the opportunity) * Spend a lot of time fixing problems that are at the fault of other underwriters, departments, and agents * Operations team doesn't know how to do anything * Proprietary systems suck and often work against you * Some people will inherently have more work than others - you may have a lot of work, but someone with the same experience may have minimal. Dependent on agencies. * Small enough teams/departments where corporate drama and politics will take over at times

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
