      Pros

      The corporate culture at Selective is (in my opinion) one of the best I have ever experienced. Feedback is encouraged and while there is a traditional hierarchal approach to organizational structure, your opinion can easily be heard all the way up the ladder. Projects can come in droves and there is never a shortage of things to do but the work life balance is very good given the amount of work there potentially is. An on-site gym helps with work life balance as well as it's always a cinch to get a workout in each day.

      Cons

      The salary is not as competitive as one would hope. Part of this is a very slow process for promotion/raises. The health benefits pale in comparison to some other bigger companies. The location is also rather remote and can be difficult in winter months on one's vehicle.

      Culturally, an old-boys pressure house

      Pros

      Above-average pay per tech position. Clean commute in a rural location. Held the line fiscally through a tough time

      Cons

      Old-boys management, zero mobility. No management of expectations with every team allowed to demand everything of the dev staff all at once, so no way to schedule and manage anything. Pure pressure, and personality-based system of promotion. Hanging on to old systems, zero innovation, zero mobile app approach.

      Pros

      I enjoyed my time at selective and thought the management team was very good and helpful in my career development.

      Cons

      It is a typical 8-5 job and there is not a very lively atmosphere. It is also an older company w not much change in technology
