Pros

The office space is modern, clean, and well-equipped, with ample room and facilities. Flexible work-from-home policy allows for a good work-life balance when not under pressure. Decent benefits and a global footprint that gives exposure to international teams.

Cons

Some managers are toxic and manipulative, regularly assigning 8-point tasks as 3-point tickets to set employees up for failure — later using missed deadlines to justify poor performance reviews. Discrimination is a serious concern. Several colleagues, including myself, observed and experienced bias against employees outside certain ethnic groups. Reporting issues to HR or upper management leads to retaliation, isolation from team communications, and career stagnation. Raises and bonuses are heavily tied to manager reviews, which can be unfairly influenced by personal bias, not actual performance. High performers are often demotivated by a lack of recognition and unequal treatment.

Pros

I have been a product manager at several companies, and it is genuinely one of the best environments I have worked in. Verisk provides a unique opportunity to work closely with customers, engineering, design, and leadership to solve meaningful problems and deliver products that create business value. Product managers are trusted to help shape strategy and influence key decisions. Teams collaborate effectively, and there is a shared commitment to delivering high quality outcomes for customers. Leadership is approachable and receptive to new ideas, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged.

Cons

Navigating insurance regulatory requirements and customer compliance can occasionally slow feature development and release timelines.
