Pros

Great work-life balance. Opportunity to work from home 1 day/week.

Cons

No room for advancement. Sub-par salary. Sub-par benefits. 401(k) match is pathetic. No recognition. Guaranteed average year-end review to limit bonus/raises.

Pros

An excellent company for any stage in your career. The people are very knowledgeable and most are very collaborative. This is one of the few companies that really embrace diversity and inclusion; They don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk.

Cons

Work life balance can be challenging. Some of the long time managers feel if you're not working at least 50 hours per week then you're not loyal to the company. Company loyalty went out in the 70's. Some managers feel its appropriate to bad mouth former employees to clients and reinsurers. This is unprofessional behavior especially at the senior management level. The pay tends to be lower than top two competitors. The salaries don't match the titles.

Pros

Hybrid work. Pay wasn't bad. Some of the employees were very helpful and courteous to newcomers. I mostly learned about the types of people and environments to stay away from.

Cons

I had to work well over 40 hours a week and was not always paid for what I worked. The role was not what I was expecting when I accepted the job. The expectation was to get the job done with little or insufficient training. Workplace harassment and discrimination happened for years and was overlooked almost every time I reported it.
