Pros

Pros - flexible work arrangements, autonomy, amazing coworkers, management's commitment to your development

Cons

Work environment is not conducive to retaining a young person like myself. But the insurance industry as a whole is a "silver" one, and I'm often the youngest in the room. The pay isn't enough. For an older employee, lesser pay may be a viable trade off to be able to work from home, have flexible hours, and etc. But for young talent like myself, those benefits wont really be applicable until 7+ years from now. So it's getting hard for me justifying to myself why I should stay at a company paying me way less than what a competitor would. Atleast give me some good and useful perks, or revamp this whole cubicle farm setup!

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.
