Pros

Amazing people, competitive pay, above average PTO

Cons

PL constantly preaches how well they treat their actuaries and how much they care about work-life balance—but their actions show the opposite. Over the past two years, they’ve made major changes that have only hurt the culture. Promises of flexibility and employee support have been replaced by rigid policies, poor communication, and decisions that completely disregard what employees actually want or need. They say they want to improve the culture, but clearly don’t listen to their people. Forcing employees to uproot their lives just to be in an office doesn’t create a positive culture—it creates frustration and burnout. When I first joined, I truly loved PL and saw myself here long-term. That’s no longer the case.

Pros

The rank and file employees are great, most jobs are pretty easy, can work there for decades if you are willing to keep a low profile and avoid showing ambition.

Cons

Management at the senior level is beyond toxic, many former executives left the company with serious concerns. Even HR leadership says the disfunction is unbearable.
