Abusive management practices - a senior level employee berated me about one of my work products. She claimed that I must have been lying on my resume because she thought my work was dismal. I had never received a critique like that on any work product in any other job.
Cliquish environment. SageSure's confidence and poise is at best un-earned, and at worst disingenuous. SageSure acts like it is doing some noble cause and changing the world; in reality it is serving a niche market of home insurance - luxury properties primarily in high-risk coastal areas. So you are actively enabling millionaires + billionaires to build and maintain ostentatious properties where they never should have been built in the first place.
Cultish adherence to their values. SageSure places an inordinate amount of time on its values, one of which, I kid you not is, "We Don't Try". Valuable time that could be spent developing their second-rate tech stack or actually servicing clients gets tossed aside for pointless sessions talking about their culture.
Intense sense of risk-aversion and conservatism. For a company that professes to be forward looking and transformational, SageSure is just another insurance company where people stay in their lane, put in their years of service and try to stay under the radar until retirement. There was an effort from the younger employees to make changes, but I don't see them having much success unfortunately.
Marketing Ignorance. During my tenure the only "Direct To Consumer" marketing we did was a company LinkedIn page, and some half-hearted display campaigns. This was in 2019 and they didn't have a consumer facing Facebook page! Absolutely astounding how behind the times they were. Senior management would claim that the regulations around insurance are what prevented them from having a Facebook page - funny every other major insurance producer was able to do so!
