Pros

Being able to work remote was nice, and starting salary was pretty good at the time.

Cons

My grievances are many with Radian. First and foremost, in the 3 and a half years spent with the company I experience 4 waves of layoffs. I understand that times are tough, but each round of layoffs somehow coincided with employee “Town Halls” where the ceo and leadership boasted millions and in some cases billions in profits! Additionally, for the last year and a half with the company I interacted with my manager a total of 10 times. He was never around, attended no meetings, and when he was there it was just to stress everyone out and berate someone for the mildest of offenses. It’s no wonder our project was shuttered and everyone (including myself) was laid off.

Strong talent, but constant restructuring undermines stability

Pros

There are smart, kind, and committed people here who genuinely want to do good work. Compensation and benefits are solid. Some teams are doing really meaningful, work despite the broader environment. Huge finance team, don’t need to do a full days work.

Cons

At this point, I assume layoffs are part of the quarterly business model. Maybe someone built them into the forecast. Every few months, it’s the same routine: surprise all-hands, vague talking points, and a bunch of people shown the door. Then we all get a pep talk about “moving forward.” It’s exhausting. Also, whoever thought it was a good idea to combine the CHRO role with another exec job clearly doesn’t work here. We basically eliminated any dedicated focus on people, which is ironic considering how often we’re “rightsizing.” And combining the President and CFO roles? Bold move. If the goal was to shrink the org chart and centralize power, mission accomplished. If the goal was to lead a complex company with, I don’t know, actual leadership… then not so much.
