Pros

Good place to work as an underwriter as they are the most respected group. Nice enough facilities. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Jobs were too narrowly defined to be challenging or interesting. Management was more focused on upper management than on their reports. Too many employees are lifers, becoming a snobbish clique with no experience in how the outside world works. The company is strangled by its ancient technology. Lots of job cutting going on now.

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.
