Pros

To gain experience and then move on

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. You are second guessed at everything. It is 55 different companies under one parent. Each company operates differently and it’s either heaven or hell. You must be politically savvy to survive here. Management is highly incompetent and they will throw you under the bus to save their skin. The technically proficient people are put on “performance improvement plans” while the incompetent ones survive and always land on their feet. The entire insurance world is full of ex Berkley people. Don’t be fooled by the stock price because it has absolutely nothing to do with the performance of the individual operating units and more to do with Mr Berkley’s superior and savvy financial acumen that rivals Warren Buffet. I love Rob Berkley and did not sell my stock but boy I’d love to have lunch with him and give him a piece of my mind. Do not work here.
