Good growth opportunities, but be aware of what you're getting into - Senior Product Manager Plymouth Rock Assurance Employee Review

Pros

General desire to grow the company, and be creative about doing it. It's small, so you can be involved in a lot of decisions and get a lot of opportunities to do interesting work simply because there's no one else to do it. In some parts, great symbiotic, collaborative relationship between systems and product means that innovation actually happens. Excellent work life balance (most people leave at 5pm).

Cons

The company structure (3 CEOs, each of their own group, separate product, IT, sales, marketing, etc.) invites competition between home and auto divisions. Sometimes this competition isn't friendly and makes the company less efficient (e.g. do we really need 3 CEOs, 2 CFOs, and several varieties of CMOs?). Partly because of this, the politics here are among the worst I've seen at any company. Also because it's a small company, there isn't a great process for raises or promotions. Too many promotions happen because an employee gets an external offer, and threatens to quit. They tend to pay well to get in the door, but by the time I left I estimated I was about ~25% below my market rate. My friends familiar with the company advised me when I was considering my offer here, to be happy with the pay I was going in for, since I would have it for a while. That turned out to be true. It's also tough to be a woman. A senior (male) leader, sometimes my manager, would tell me once every 1-2 months how pretty I looked, in a meeting, in front of others. It was a different person almost every time, so it's not like this was a one-off. I was asked often by people in other departments about room availability or catering. When I asked for a raise, one of my managers asked me why I needed the money, since I didn't have any children. I wasn't openly sexually harassed, and I liked most of the people there, but it wasn't easy.

Can be more old school about certain procedures but they are making attempts to adapt.

Pros

Hiring process was a breeze. Company pays for training and fully support growth. Super nice employees who will go above and beyond to help onboard you.

Cons

Strict 4 days a week in office. Alot of companies give some flexibility esp around summer and holidays or in office 3 days a week. It is hard for working parents especially child care is so expensive. Reconsider this if 4 days is not for you.
