      Pros

      Highly talented professionals across different markets.

      Cons

      Inconsistent communication regarding role responsibilities and shifting expectations shortly after joining. The scope of the position changed significantly compared to what was originally presented, which created challenges in alignment and clarity. While the organization is strong, greater transparency around role definition, onboarding, unstructured processes and internal changes would help ensure a more consistent employee experience.

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
