Pros

Helping pets Good benefits RSUs and decent pay Lots of pets in office Friendly coworkers

Cons

While at Trupanion I experienced retaliation, gaslighting, and shifting goalposts. loved the actual work but management made it unbearable. It was overall a traumatic experience. Poor management. My Trupanion experience started with missing a portion of benefits orientation because my department was too busy. From there, more issues slowly piled up and it was dismissed or explained away with "we're a family" and "it's only temporary". My manager was often unavailable. Requests for functioning equipment were dismissed for a year. Outdated tools. The tools used for support are outdated or inappropriate, especially for a company of this size. A significant portion of the workday includes making notes and copying that information over to multiple platforms. Staffing. The department was understaffed. After telling management we needed additional help we were told to "prove it" and encouraged to do poor work as proof. This led to disciplinary action and firing of the entire department mere months after receiving a 5 star review from the very same management. When myself and others mentioned this situation to HR they were dismissive and asked no questions.

Pros

Benefits are decent if you’re single. If you need to add a spouse or child, it’s awful

Cons

Wow. Where do I begin? I used to LOVE working for Trupanion. I wanted it to be my career for the rest of my life. As soon as Margi took over things went downhill. She only cares about $$. It’s very clear we were nothing but numbers on a spreadsheet to her. She took away benefits and incentives. She wants work done cheaper and faster. The whole temperature of the company changed and it just got worse and worse.

Pros

Maternity Leave, sabbatical, ample PTO

Cons

What truly set Trupanion apart from other disasters I've witnessed was their knack for hiring the most incompetent and clueless individuals for leadership positions. It's like they actively sought out people who were allergic to competence and rational decision-making. These leaders lacked the ability to inspire, guide, or even manage their teams effectively. Instead, they created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, driving away any semblance of talent that might have remained.
