      Pros

      Global company, good vacation time, good retirement benefit. Bonus can be ok but company is now capping that as well and raises are nearly nonexistent even for high rating on perf review

      Cons

      Bureaucratic, Anti-American, P&C company with disdain for the Life side of the business even though Life is a big portion of the total revenue

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Corso - property underwriter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      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.
