Pros

Lots of travel, broad client base, conservative approach to underwriting. Generally a good company to work for; they value their employees and there is a great deal of involvement in the community

Cons

Depending on your manager, there is some inflexibility as to when you can work from home. Not to say that you cannot do it, but it is often frowned upon unless you are senior management.

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.
