Liberty Mutual Insurance reviews

Managers don't understand the role that competance, training, or support play in getting the job done. Managers have trouble making decisions as though this is their first job out of school. Managers spend an enormous amount of time in meetings. Employees are VERY stressed out with distraction and redirection. Indianapolis is where the action and opportunity are. There is difficulty managing work across time zones. Pay is mediocre. Not a "fun" environment.

The opportunity for growth was limited during my time there and there were very few opportunities to progress past a senior underwriter post. Compared to some of its publicly traded counterparts the bonuses were fairly low and tied to a performance rating system in which the rating received can sometimes seem arbitrary due to the vague performance guidelines. Promotions and awards can seem capricious as, again, performance is not tied to any specific metric but broadly defined categories. The internal relationship between other internal departments such as Sales and Actuarial can be contentious and adversarial instead of collaborative. The actuarial department in particular can be rigid and conservative in its methodology which is counter-productive to growth.
