Their "People First" motto isn't true - Anonymous employee First American Financial Corporation Employee Review

Pros

Mostly good people. Fair money for most positions. Solid work-life balance.

Cons

Inconsistent messages from higher ups. When they determine you are not necessary, the "People First" concept goes out the window. As other reviewers have said, they do it suddenly, without humanity (crappy severance too), and don't answer your questions after they can you. New CEO Seaton went all-in with AI, which led to the layoffs of a number of people. That, by definition, is NOT People First. In fact, it's ruined many former employees' lives. There was no effort to retrain or move people to other positions once they decided to use a computer instead of a human.

Pros

Building an entirely new platform as part of a digital modernization along with related applications that serve areas of the business where there is either redundancy or solutions created as an afterthought that don't fit an enterprise model. Exciting yet challenging. Excellent opportunity for career advancement if your leadership style and experience align with the culture.

Cons

Supporting existing business solutions and trying to iterate towards the desired modern vision can be a hard sell to some. Very challenging code base and difficult to move beyond cloud 1.0 with mostly virtual machines hosting workloads.
