Pros

Great place to start and end your career. They are very laid back, and don't really expect much out of the developers, so if you are a hard worker you'll get along great. Casual dress, plenty of holidays and time off, good pay, and great benefits. Time lines are, for the most part, imaginary; so you can take your time.

Cons

It all depends on which team you work for. I worked for CPP. The management is comprised completely of developers who moved up. This means that they know how to code, but not necessarily how to manage, and so they just don't. Occasionally they will try some poorly thought out plan to "increase productivity", but they never pan out, and usually just fall to the wayside. Plan to only actually talk to your manager when YOU want to talk to them, and usually they are busy. The software is behind, but within the last 6 months they have shown actual movement forward to more current technologies. The code itself is a mess. They kept hiring new straight-out-of-school kids who all didn't know what they were doing, and thought they did. So the code is all over the place, it's inconsistent, and sometimes just doesn't work. Be prepared to realize you messed something up your first week and have to fix it 3 months later once you start to know what you are actually doing.

Pros

Co-workers are amazing. Managers are helpful.

Cons

Rolling out an incomplete new operating system was a horrible idea. Creates additional work for adjusters. The processes being implemented are hindering the ability to effectively close claims. Adjusters are being told to do more with less every day. Claim counts average 180 to 200 for the last 6 months with no relief in sight. Hybrid work was promised at 2 home and 3 in office. That was recently revoked and it is now mandatory 4 days in office. With gas prices what they are, that really hurts. Corporate management seems to be focused more on obtaining #1 status and bringing in the big bucks than finding a way to relieve the stress on their employees. Mental health is non existent and if you aren't putting in 50+ hours a week there is no way to stay on top of your work load. Even then you will feel like you are barely treading water. New NICE phone system is for call centers-not claim adjusters. Not a lot of advancement opportunities unless you are someone's pet. Benefits are mediocre at best.
