Quite frankly speaking, Travelers has become a shell of it's former self. Travelers went from being one of the best places to work on Forbes and every other major list to not being mentioned at all. When you get past the unit manager positions, it's a good ol' boys club from there on up. It's not about what you can do or any particular skill set that will move you up, it's who you know. Upper management has become stiff and full of platitudes, with no real chance for advancement unless you know somebody. There has been a push for people to return to office, which has done NOTHING to improve productivity. Travelers upper management lacks the ability to deal with individual situations with a scalpel, instead using a broad sword to carve out there decisions. They also focus on fixing things which are not broken, rather than addressing the glaringly obvious short comings in either software or workflow situations. It actually saddens me to the core to see where this company has gone in the last 10 years, focused on shareholder profits rather than employee satisfaction. People used to work here 20-30 years, now they burn out in less than 5. You can tell the older generation that is ready to retire already has one foot out the door, collecting checks until their retirement date, which given the current state of the company, is understandable. I can't say I wouldn't recommend someone to work here who just wanted a job, but as a career.....given their thirsty push into the realm of A.I., I would stay clear.
