Amazing benefits and great culture!

Pros

RLI has extremely competitive retirement benefits and incentive programs, and health insurance premiums are very reasonable. Also, I've never worked for a company where I was surrounded by so many hard working individuals who are also friendly and willing to lend a helping hand. Overall, the culture feels positive, and I think a lot of that has to do with great pay and benefits, but also a feeling of collective ownership and pride in the company.

Cons

The hardworking culture can sometimes come with a sense of pressure to put in additional hours, but that hasn't been communicated as the expectation, and can sometimes just be an internal pressure. I think if you care about your work and take pride in it, that will likely occur no matter what company you work for.

Pros

Holidays and 15 days of vacation

Cons

RLI has an organizational strategy called "Futurization". Its goal is to modernize the organizations applications and infrastructure. There is exists a tremendous amount of resistance / pushback by the business side of the house against this strategy. This has caused much frustration and turnover within the IT side of the house There are many opportunities within RLI to gain a competitive advantage through the use of Technology, unfortunately the resistance to change prevents these opportunities from being exploited IT employees are not thought of as "Business Partners". Instead, IT employees are treated (by the business) more like contractors or "serfs". It’s almost like being treated as a second-class citizen. In addition, poor IT decisions are pushed through by businesspeople who lack the IT knowledge to make these recommendations or decisions. The Salary is not consistent with the Market. In addition, raises are small. The last raise that was distributed was less than < 3%. After taxes and deductions, the annual bonus ends up being about 6-7% of your salary. The ESOP has a long vesting period, so you will have to have years of employee to gain this benefit. Software releases are frequently (every 2 weeks) and occur very early Saturday morning. These occur from 5-6 CST, so if you are working remote expect to get up very early.
