Pros

Good starter position if looking for longer career in underwriting.

Cons

The managers who are in charge of operations have absolutely no clue what is going on. They do not know what is required of their employees day-to-day. This leads to terrible planning and insanely unreasonable expectations. They are actually quite incompetent when it comes to their work & the work of their employees. The environment is not diverse at all. 3 Black people. 1 Asian person. At least 60 white people (in the Melville office). This is not diversity.

Pros

Fair compensation. Amazing retirement plant - 50% 401(k) match from 1% to 75% of bi-weekly compensation. Obviously there is the IRS limit, but you have option to max out that limit earlier.

Cons

None that I can identify

Pros

If you are cool with regressing into a zero impact worker it’s a very easy company to coast at and it’s largely incentivized.

Cons

Zero professional dignity. Your stakeholders will be some of the dumbest people you’ve ever met and the company rewards this. Everything gets mangled into some 5 year olds vision and the spend on mediocrity is insane. They hate technology you’ll never get access and all software decisions are made through the lens of how some corpo who doesn’t work would want to use it. Couldn’t stand the people I had to deal with and just all around anti technology anti productivity kind of place, just crazy.
