The Grass Isn't Always Green On the Other Side... - Underwriting Technician West Bend Insurance Company Employee Review

Pros

I worked at WBM for seven years, and I can honestly say that I regret my decision to leave. Even though I was not happy with my particular department or the management in my division, it does not reflect the company as a whole. The company has the benefits it has because it cares about their employees and cares about retaining good people. WBM has an awesome campus, flexible work schedule, casual dress code, etc.

Cons

As with any large-scale corporation, not all departments and managers are perfect. There is, however, opportunity to transfer within the company. My only complaint is that I wish management had taken our concerns more seriously when they were voiced and that transferring from my specific department would have been easier.

Pros

Modern technology stack with opportunities to work on cloud systems, APIs, distributed architecture, and enterprise modernization efforts. There are smart engineers throughout the organization, and some teams genuinely care about delivering quality solutions. The technical challenges themselves can help accelerate growth in areas like Azure, React, system integration, and large-scale enterprise workflows.

Cons

The environment often felt highly results-driven without enough emphasis on communication clarity, collaboration, or healthy engineering alignment. Requirements and priorities shifted frequently while delivery pressure remained high. Many interactions across leadership and architecture boundaries felt transactional instead of collaborative, which could make engineers feel isolated rather than supported. Success often depended as much on navigating ambiguity and organizational dynamics as technical ability itself.
