      Pros

      It's a great company to work for when it comes to compensation and benefits. The management direction at this time due to senior management turn over so only time will tell how thiongs will turn out. If the company starts making decent profits again then it will continue to be a great place to work. There is a move to reduce head count at this time.

      Cons

      The company is reducing head count so it's very stressfull right now. The management structure is primarily based in Zurich and it seems they are not really in touch with their US based employees. It's sometimes very difficult to get things done with no local decision making authority.

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
