Pros

Good people at the lower levels, support each other, despite unhealthy environment

Cons

Leadership is inept, don't care, provide lip service, all awards and recognition for supporting work/family balance and working women is just for show. Politically charged, cut throat and twisted. If you're not "in favor," you're screwed. And a history of strong performance and proven track record means nothing if you get on insurance division leaders bad side.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
