Pros

1. Food in cafetaria is great 2. Office Location 3. Office Infra

Cons

1. Managers from Zurich location treat Indian colleagues as Low cost Labours. They will not attend late evening calls but will expect Indian colleagues to attend the calls at evening 8-9pm. 2. Too many people with 12+ years in the company are sitting ideal and drawing fat salaries. 3. When you try to switch teams, managers ego will get hurt and they will try every possible way to make it stop. 4. Too many C/D bands in Zurich location who runs the show in India but don't have an iota of knowledge about the how the things work in this new age environment.

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.
