Pros

The company offered industry best when it came to benefits. You are given a 401k (5% match), pension plan, 20 PTO (16 Vacation, 3 personal, 1 floating days) and 5 sick. This is a great company to build your career if you plan to continue on their insurance side. The broker/dealer positions are very limited as most of the operations are in Mass.

Cons

20% salary cap for internal promotions. It's known that you have to leave the company and come back to get a more competitive salary because of that ridiculous cap on salary. there is not much opportunity for growth as most positions are lateral moves.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
