Absolutely not a tech company!

Pros

- The salary and benefits appear to be on par with the industry norms. - There are a number of company-sponsored internal events (ice cream socials, etc.) - Free parking in Hartford

Cons

First and foremost, as my review title suggests, this is not a tech company. It masquerades as one, but it is simply a smaller version of a typical, large insurance company, with all the inherent problems associated therein. - If you are looking for cutting edge technologies and/or business practices, please look elsewhere. Insurity is rooted in the 20th century, and is recognized as such by potential clients - There are a number of products within the Insurity line. None of these product owners speak with each other; all of them jealously guard their own space - In line with the above point, there is a pervasive culture of finger pointing: who can we blame today for our own mistakes? - Senior management have been around for a long time, yet they are either unwilling or, more likely, unable to move the company forward - Turnover is extremely high - Work/life balance is simply an HR marketing scheme. I have taken status calls at 10PM and have frequently worked through the night - only to be blamed for some silly mistake in the morning - There have been no pay raises for at least 5 years - There are no promotion opportunities. Although this review is obviously harsh, it is written as a true representation of my own personal experiences at Insurity. In summary, if you are in an in-demand tech field (developers, PMs, BAs) and are any way ambitious, Insurity is simply not the place for you. If, however, you have spent 20 years in the insurance industry as a Claims analyst, for example, then fire away! You'll fit right in.

There's high turn-over for a reason

Pros

If you're a capable employee, then job security is yours at Insurity. The company is growing, and most managers are comfortable with employees working from home as necessary. The culture within the company is cooperative and since there are new hires joining with great frequency, people are used to helping "the new kid on the block". The company does a good job of trying to make the office "comfortable"/convenient - free parking, a very large lunch area with plenty of refrigerators and microwaves, free coffee/tea and popcorn whenever anyone wants to make it. Throughout the year there are company-sponsored lunches and various contests.

Cons

The bottom line is this....the harder you work, the more work you are given but that hard work does not necessarily translate to compensation. "Pay for Performance" is what executive management stands behind to explain why raises are not given each year and why bonuses are often less than 50% of target (this is from an already low eligible percentage, 5% or less, of salary). There are NO performance reviews to outline goals or achievements and compensation, including the random "spot bonuses", seems to be at the whim of management. When employees express dissatisfaction, they are told to talk with their manager. HR seems to stay out of the picture. There are 2 buckets of top talent - those that have been there for years and know all of the random, undocumented components of the system and those that join and leave after 18 months. It is a revolving door. Executive management is out of touch with the employee base. Executives sit in a special area of the office, have specialized parking (i.e. right next to the building instead of across the street where the "commoners" park), and have access to a dedicated kitchen that's filled with bottled water and soda. Scheduled "all employee" meetings are frequently cancelled. It is extremely rare to see any executive walking around the general employee area.
