Selective Insurance reviews

Hired from another insurance company with promises of being able to bring new ideas and processes to the table. However, on day 1 was told to leave those things at the door. Never fully accepted as one of the team and still considered "Not Selective" after four years. Work/Life balance was touted by upper management, but direct supervisor was opposed to any level flexibility. Hours are 8 - 4, but leaving at 4 branded you a slacker or not busy enough. Work from home days were actively discouraged at all levels of management. Average work week was 60+ hours, with no recognition or appreciation of that time. HR was a joke, protecting the "lifers" and helping promote a hostile work environment. Salary and bonuses were significantly less than competitor pay packages.

management had no real appreciation for what it took to deliver projects, there is no respect for peoples lives or family-time. Developers working 70+ hours a week under constant threat of outsourcing-"be lucky-you-have-a-job-we-can-get-2-of-you-in-india" was the view management has of employees. Customers losing ground
