Pros

There are many hard-working employees. Work/life balance can be good but not in all groups. Diversity and inclusion efforts are strong. Can advance career - people always leave and there will be openings.

Cons

Cronyism at the top level - most have been there forever and evermore set in their ways. That is where most of the compensation goes. No advanced thinking or strategy. CEO doesn't push next level to execute at higher level or innovate. 'Friends' get promotions and raises. The rest get little even when well below market - hard to make money. Advanced thinkers get sidelined if pressing advanced ideas - most are pushed out. Accolades and promotions for useless differentiation i.e. you play the party line.

Pros

I have been a product manager at several companies, and it is genuinely one of the best environments I have worked in. Verisk provides a unique opportunity to work closely with customers, engineering, design, and leadership to solve meaningful problems and deliver products that create business value. Product managers are trusted to help shape strategy and influence key decisions. Teams collaborate effectively, and there is a shared commitment to delivering high quality outcomes for customers. Leadership is approachable and receptive to new ideas, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged.

Cons

Navigating insurance regulatory requirements and customer compliance can occasionally slow feature development and release timelines.
