Not So Great - Principal Engineer Verisk Employee Review

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.

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

Good benefits, could be better. Subsidized cafe is great. Celebrations / gatherings are great for internal networking.

Firm went too bullish on stock growth during covid-29 era- wanted to see continued high growth of profit and profit margin, but that is unsustainable. Multiple significant layoffs and restructurings in one year. Hard time retaining institutional knowledge. Pay is not commensurate with high-stress environment (due to rapid changes and instability), COL, etc. Poor opportunity / visibility for career development for non-actuarial roles embedded in actuarial departments. Leads to frustration among colleagues. Morale is very far down. Neglect of institutional knowledge and junior staff will make problems down the line.
