Pros

Absolutely None. Baltimore office had nothing positive going for it. Snobs.

Cons

Absolute worst place I have ever worked. Unrealistic work load. More and more work piled on you that you could never get close to even being caught up or ahead. Underwriters demanded that you do all of their work for them. If you took even one day off, you would return at least a week or more back in the "hole." No work/life balance. Nasty, spiteful, berating Underwriters. Management made you feel useless and you could never do anything correctly, no matter how hard you tried. Favoritism. Never trust the managers. NEVER trust HR.

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.
