Pros

Quite a few talented and passionate people.

Cons

- non competitive pay - most talented people don't stay - No matter how well you perform it is very hard to move to new positions in the company. -Internal job performance is actually not even used to evaluate internal candidates, to create a fair and equal playing field for internal and external candidates. Leaderships hides this from employees, quite unethical. They want external talent more. - CEO Tom Wilson has a history of questionable character behind closed doors - Senior officers have said they don't feel comfortable expressing their true opinions - Executives maintain in leadership positions despite a history of cursing people out - Retaliation is quite common - Non diverse leaders mostly old white men who have been in insurance for decades - Fired 10% of workforce in the middle of a global pandemic, not due to performance but due to strategy. The company made more money than ever during pandemic. - Did 3 reorgs and made people feel they had secure jobs and then laid of a masisve portion of people - Incompetent senior leadership focused solely on supporting their delusional success stories for poltical purposes - Only certain levels get bonuses - Improper governance structure which allows Tom Wilson to have too much control over the company - Promotion based on tenure not merit - Horrible culture for innovation
