Pros

• Strong brand recognition and a respected name in the insurance industry. • Exposure to global operations and diverse types of work. • Some genuinely talented and hardworking colleagues.

Cons

• Toxic work culture: Leadership often ignores employee feedback and fails to foster a supportive or collaborative environment. • Overworked and underpaid: Heavy workloads with unrealistic expectations, but compensation does not match the level of responsibility or time required. • No career growth: Despite consistent performance, promotions are routinely passed over — in my case, three years in a row — with little transparency about criteria or advancement paths. • Low morale: High turnover and burnout are common, with limited acknowledgment or recognition for hard work. • Lack of work-life balance: Long hours are the norm, and taking time off is often discouraged or penalized indirectly.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
