Not As Great As Everyone Makes It Out Be
Pros
Great PTO and work/life balance
Cons
It’s all about your cronies. In order to move up or be recognized you have to be in the right crowd. Inclusion is talked about a lot but the company has a lot of work to do here. The recent merger with Esurance was handled horrifically — making all of us feel under appreciated to say the very least. The company moves at a snails pace and you really can’t get anything done because every single thing has to go through so many reviews and approvals. Management talks about transparency .. Sr. leadership tries at this .. but middle management hoards information. It almost seems like there is a worry that they don’t want to be seen as better than or equal too and the best way to do that is keep certain things under wraps. If you like working at a faster pace, where you see the fruits of your labor this is not the place for you. If you like SLOW ridiculously over engineered environments where everyone and everything needs to be reviewed and where you get flooded with company emails but have great vacation time this is a perfect place for you.
