Pros

Good benefits while you are there. Recent stock performance is good, so if it continues you will get a good bonus. The standard health insurance plan is ~ $160 / month, with a deductible of ~ $2k, so its pretty good health insurance.

Cons

Recent stock performance is very good, so the SOC is squeezing margins on the core business to maintain that growth. However, they are not squeezing strategically. No defined development plan for non-actuaries. The bonus & raise pool goes mostly to actuaries, so if you're not an actuary don't plan on raises unless you're getting a promotion. The core business has ongoing outsourcing to offices around the world, 10% layoff recently executed by admin w/o consultation with line managers & directors. Layoffs given by seniority in some cases, and by performance in others, Some departments have a standing happy hour starting at 3 pm once a week. Other departments work overtime as an expectation. The layoffs and the bonus/raise pool affect these teams in the same way despite these workload differences.

Pros

Overall the company is decent place to work. Good benefits and interesting work depending on what you are doing. Work/Life balance is very good (for the most part).

Cons

Pay and salary increases tend to not be on par for insurance and technology industries. They will pile on responsibilities and it is hard to get rewarded. HR department does a pretty bad job with yearly increases / performance management. Favoritism is rampant. Ton of good people are leaving.
