Pros

Smart, driven colleagues, fantastic brand and knowledge base in the industry. Very collaborative approach, everything from underwriting to managing a group. Lots of support and a very strong culture. HEAVY promoters of talent from within. Higher % of compensation variable, from what I've seen from other competitors.

Cons

Slow to move in the face of change. Do what they do very well, but hesitant to embrace new ideas/less entrepreneurial. Strong political culture, important to network internally for success. The pending acquisition by ACE provides a lot of uncertainty.

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.
