Pros

Great Work Life Balance - Work from home highly encouraged, once justified. Thoughtful approach to underwriting. Very friendly and helpful teams - People make time to assist each other

Cons

Very political. Often feels like you need to know someone to get ahead in what's a very flat organization. People are so nice sometimes that you can't get open, honest advice.

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.
