Selective Insurance reviews

Workload was crazy - more like a 60-70 hour week than a 40 hour. Part of the problem was corporate management kept coming up with new (and largely unnecessary) job duties without taking any away.

Meetings, meetings and more meetings. Projects consisted of about 10 managers / spec makers, and one developer. That developer spent more time in meetings about how the project was coming along than actually developing. Another major con is the amount of outsourcing. It seems like all the knowledge in the company is being transferred from implementation to babysitting offshore resources. Because of this and other, more politically motivated reasons, long time employees are leaving, and their knowledge leaves with it.
