Pros

An excellent company for any stage in your career. The people are very knowledgeable and most are very collaborative. This is one of the few companies that really embrace diversity and inclusion; They don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk.

Cons

Work life balance can be challenging. Some of the long time managers feel if you're not working at least 50 hours per week then you're not loyal to the company. Company loyalty went out in the 70's. Some managers feel its appropriate to bad mouth former employees to clients and reinsurers. This is unprofessional behavior especially at the senior management level. The pay tends to be lower than top two competitors. The salaries don't match the titles.

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.
