Pros

Reasonable Fortune brand in insurance industry, good place for working parents who value work life balance

Cons

Not merit driven, too much politics, a lot of long timers, out dated management practice and infrastructure, large portion of middle management in the Group Insurance division needs to go, terrible mafia culture in terms of back stabbing and retaliation, lots of slacking from the long timers

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
