Pros

-Salary is average, industry standard. -Very good PTO -Underwriters on my team are fairly empowered to make decisions, supported by manager. -My workload is generally manageable and I do not work overtime. -Summer hours are nice, leaving two hours early on Fridays in July/August is a great perk.

Cons

-Outdated systems. Compared to other carriers I would say Northbridge is below average on the technology front. -The hybrid work from home model is A W F U L. It is hated universally by everyone at the organization and senior leadership has doubled down that it is here to stay. You are required to be in the office 10 days a month, point blank period. No flexibility. Sick kid at home? Too bad. Broken leg? Nope, get a wheelchair and come in. If you miss even a half day for the month you will receive a letter threatening up to termination. Most of my colleagues aren't against RTO but the lack of flexibility is laughable when most companies are on 1 or 2 days a week with understanding management who doesn't enforce RTO like an authoritarian regime. -Very corporate culture, this may or may not be for you depending on your personality. -Lack of continuing education support aside from the CIP.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We believe the hybrid approach, where employees work from the office 50% of the time and from home 50% of the time, truly benefits both employees and customers. With our additional 10 WFH days plus our other time-off options we’re confident this is the right balance to maintain our culture. Also, our Education Assistance Program is quite inclusive, covering 100% of course costs as long as the learning opportunity makes sense for an employee’s development goals.
