Pros

Trupanion is like a family, but with big business goals. This is good in the sense that it feels like you can make a difference in the companies future. All of the staff and management are very friendly, making it a nice place to work. Working in teams was never an issue, and coming to work was fun. Of course if you like pets, that helps a lot. Also, their way of doing business is as respectable and honest as can be for an insurance company.

Cons

The biggest issue with Trupanion is their way of measuring job performance and rewarding good employees. I would work hard, performed a very difficult job, but received very little recognition for it. They were measuring things that had very little to do with job performance, which affected all employees negatively. It honestly didn't make any sense. And I don't recall there ever being an "employee of the month" or anything to highlight great employees. Additionally, any ideas for improvements went unnoticed and unrecognized, and that was very demoralizing as an employee trying to help the company get better.

Pros

Very good benefits, especially PTO / Great coworkers with shared "values" (outside of upper mgmt) / Remote Help pets every day

Cons

The co has become another typical corporate greed - no longer cares about customer or staff experience, only the bottom line. Charges premium prices for not so premium insurance, with progressive cut backs in coverage yet continuous policy increases in much too large of percentage (as an employee, I could never afford my own plan). They used to be fantastic, progressive and all-inclusive. Now they keep hide their true behaviors behind a cloak of "transparency" and have lost sight of their own values.
