Pros

Great work-life balance. Solid standing in the Insurance industry with international exposure to markets. Innovative and market leading in many segments.

Cons

career mobility is very hard - same folks get promoted all the time. You need to know someone to get to the next level. The middle managers are the worst when it comes to promoting people who work for them. Sometimes, it feels like a race issue as well with Diversity and Inclusion given lip service by the management.

Thanks for taking a moment to write us a review. We are committed to strengthening our inclusive workplace and we know how important diversity is to our overall success. However, if you feel you've observed unfair behavior, you may want to call our Compliance Helpline for guidance. Feedback helps us to improve, so thank you for sharing.

Pros

Flexible work arrangements. If you're good at your job, you can have a lot of influence and drive the technology and business forward.

Cons

Very political organization. There is currently a lot of change happening within the technology side of the company. The vision of this transformation is excellent -- the execution on the transformation is terrible. There is a lot of mediocre software and a lot of mediocre software developers. Management on the technology side are the ones calling the shots, but they are extremely out of touch with software development and architecture.
