Pros

great benefits, great compensation, great perks, bonuses, medical, dental, 401(k)... you get to work with the "real" stuff, as they have enough muscle to hire and subscribe to the best. Good chances of advancing, moving horizontally and vertically throughout the company. Great learning opportunities, and anything employee-oriented... they have over 90% retention rate, and people stay there for a long time, some the whole career.

Cons

it's an insurance software/services company, so it has inherent insurance industry downfalls: inert--things happen slowly, and managers are hard to sway towards new directions. Then again, it's a con of any large company, so Verisk is no different.

Pros

The company demonstrates solid values and a relatively clear vision at the highest level. The work environment is focused. The company demonstrates strong respect for its employees. Senior leadership (executive level) is very strong.

Cons

The pace of new innovation is very slow ... it feels like the company is "stuck" in a routine that doesn't fit the data/analytics universe. The environment is very political and any major developments are extremely complex and opaque.

Pros

- training, education, professional development and any other support is fantastic - employees are not only some of the smartest people I've ever met, but they are also very kind and fun - softball, bowling leagues and other social outlets - starting to reward work with promotions and raises, and not have them just based on some timeline - upper management is listening to us when it comes to ideas for improvements and efficiencies

Cons

- I will say some people should not be afforded this luxury, but if other employees have proven to be self-motivated, hard and good working, and get projects done on time, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't qualify to work from home once or twice a week. - some of the employees that have been around for a longer time act entitled, abrasive and inflexible regarding the recent reorg.
