Pros

Good if you want an average income without doing any work or have no brains so wont get in anywhere else like the case with their HR team.

Cons

Interview process - 6-8 months if you are lucky, not because they have detailed rounds but because the recruitment team is full of idiots who cannot understand what is needed and are too lazy to close. Only way you can be hired is if the interviewers or you are following up daily. role discussed during interview and work you do do not match Politics Politics Politics No Business Ethics or Professionalism

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.
