Pros

Open and inviting work environment with room to grow in my chosen field with support for insurance education. This company encourages work life balance, commits resources (time and money) to our communities, and has a great benefits package.

Cons

PTO accumulation is a little slow after the initial 15 days provided, i.e. earn a day a year after 5 years.

Thank you for the excellent review! We’re especially happy to read your note about support at Umialik. We encourage continued development and aim to create an environment that allows our employees to grow in their careers. To your note about PTO, employees start accumulating an additional day after their third anniversary at the company. We appreciate your feedback and your suggestions to make Umialik an even better place to work!

Pros

The underwriting role here is definitely challenging and fast-paced, but it’s rewarding if you enjoy problem-solving and handling complex cases. It’s an intellectually stimulating environment where you’re constantly learning and adapting, which keeps the workday interesting. The team is generally supportive, and there's a good mix of independent work and collaboration. The opportunities to grow professionally are abundant, and the company offers plenty of resources to help improve your skill set.

Cons

The role can be difficult, particularly due to the frequent changes in our systems and processes. These shifts have added some complexity to the day-to-day responsibilities, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. There’s a steep learning curve, especially for those new to underwriting or transitioning into the role.
