      Great Company and Culture

      Pros

      This company has a culture of ownership, supports continuous learning, and provides opportunities to skilled employees to change career paths or further develop within their current career path.

      Cons

      The phrase "lean teams" for some groups is used as a justification for understaffing, which puts employees on the "lean teams" in the position where some salaried employees have to choose between working significant uncompensated overtime to meet expectations or experience project failures, not meeting expectations. Recognition for these "lean teams" is also very rare, if it ever occurs.

      Pros

      Stable and well-run company. Win-as-a-team attitude, with a lot of cross-functional collaboration between departments. Purposeful effort placed on nurturing a good culture. Leadership seems very invested in the people. Awesome culture to be a part of!

      Cons

      Leadership still seems to have some outdated opinions around remote work, but RLI already has a size-able remote work force and continues to hire remote workers, so messaging from leadership is a little confusing. General preference seems to be in-office, especially if located near a physical hub (which is totally fine!), but the engrained bias toward in-office seems to detract from our potential to purposely evolve, grow, and welcome talent wherever we can find it, so we can remain innovative. All that said, RLI has a great culture for a reason, and I can certainly understand some hesitancy in making big, sudden changes that could negatively impact that. I wouldn't want that. I appreciate a thoughtful approach rather than making sweeping changes just because of what other companies are doing. RLI should collectively do what is right to preserve its stability, culture *and* its innovative edge.

      Pros

      Strong culture. Employees act as owners. Flexibility with remote work. Competitive compensation. Excellent retirement benefits. Good bonus potential.

      Cons

      Home office is based in Peoria, IL. Somewhat flat organization, so not always a lot of opportunity for promotion. Limited appetite for growth.
