Pros

Good brand name, good benefits

Cons

I had an extremely disappointing experience working here. Despite putting in consistent effort and often being the only one actively contributing on the team, I was put on a PIP immediately after probation and later laid off without any prior notice. The work environment is deeply toxic certain team members who've been around for years behave like they own the place, often resorting to public humiliation, mockery, and unprofessional conduct. If you're considering joining the actuarial team, I’ve heard better things about it. But if you're being placed in the team I was part of, I would strongly advise you to reconsider. The lack of respect, support, and basic decency from senior team members makes it a very unhealthy space to work in. They won't even allow you work from home or to log off on time and will make you work till 11 at night

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
