Pros

The vast majority of employee's are good people with great intentions. PTO is fairly generous and the bonuses are also good. There is a wealth of knowledge at Verisk Health that is available to those who want to learn new things is tremendous if you have the time to soak up the knowledge from teammates.

Cons

The Richmond office has been hit hard by resignations and while that is part of any company, management needs to do a better job of taking care of the "work horses" that have been pulling the load for everyone for a while. Almost every department is understaffed and hiring can be a slow and arduous process. Management takes a long time to make a decision on hiring candidates. The growth and advancement opportunity is also something that should be addressed. The company promotes that they promote from within but rarely does that become the case (what a joke). You can apply all you want but don't be surprised when you are not selected for promotion or recognition while the others that are too busy brown nosing get recognized. Many of my co-workers have applied but are denied the opportunity to grow which is one of the various reasons we have lost some of our best employee's. Not to mention that in several cases, the person who is hired is less experienced and not as knowledgeable as the person who had applied internally.

Pros

Great benefits, highly competent colleagues who care about results.

Cons

The SOJO office promotes and teaches managers to believe, act and state publicly that 'anyone can be replaced', even though some employees who resign are replaced with more than 2 VH employees. Management wants to have employees that 'will do what it takes to get the job done'; however, they treat us like we are worth nothing and can be easily replaced. If management at the SOJO office wants loyalty they need to lead by example. There is a lot of chaos due to the constant and significant transitions that have been occurring for years. This is extremely stressful on employees and there is a void of change management control. Change is not always good, there is a limit to the resources of people and tools regarding how many changes all at the same time. Promotions have been handed out over the years even to people who have lost millions in revenue to the company or put it at risk. They still have their high salaries and titles. Those who have been there have seen this all and know who is valued and who is not. People are hired who are friends and are reimbursed at higher salaries than others with more domain expertise, experience with the company and results.
