Pros

Relatively stable. Good brand to have on a resume in the insurance industry. There is a lot of opportunity for learning new skills. They're looking to improve.

Cons

Much less organized than you would expect for a company of its size. Trying to catch up on the tech side after realizing analytics are useful. Had horrible HR experience where they took over $1500 out of my paychecks for benefits I wasn't receiving at the time. After bouncing around for over a month with two areas that both insisted it was the other areas issue, it was finally fixed. They had a Cyber breach where my personal data, including social security number, was compromised. They offered two years of credit monitoring but told us we'd just have to be vigilant watching our credit after that. The good news, from what they shared, was that no client data was impacted so I guess it's just their employees lives that can get ruined. Vast majority of management, including the new head of analytics, does not have a strong analytics background and gives priority to other areas of the company.

Pros

I'm not there anymore. Fair pay. Started out great.

Cons

Midway through a year-long contract I already started looking. It was an extremely boring place to work. This is the kind of place where you stay within your boundary. In other words, if you are an architect, you design diagrams all day. No hands-on work - even if you know what you're doing. I was even rebuked on several occasions for working with a developer to help him out. I was told I needed to tell him to ask someone else responsible for that. If you like to do hands on and you are an architect, you will hate it here.
