Pros

Ahead of many competitors tech-wise.

Cons

Hands-down the worst professional experiences I've had in my career. In the time I worked here I witnessed or was subjected to: managers gossiping about direct reports to other direct reports in their absence, overt favoritism, retaliation, deliverable expectations changing by the day (or if you're lucky, by the week), inconsistencies in directives, a severe lack of employee-manager trust, poor and contradictory communication, zero middle (and most definitely not director level) managerial accountability. My advice to anyone considering Lemonade: Don't. Please take heed and believe the many red flags posted here (some from current employees who have been with the company for 2+ years), that collectively spell out the same message: don't do it. If you value your career, if you value having work/life balance, if you value your mental health and well-being, if you value not being undermined, healthy morale and professionalism, - please be warned this company's egregiously unprofessional and toxic culture will threaten every aspect of what I've just listed. I have never worked for nor have I ever witnessed a more toxic work environment. Please heed the warnings of many others who've taken the time to report on our experiences, and find a company that actually values their workforce. Working here was purely a traumatizing experience. I'll conclude this by piggybacking off of what has already been stated in other reviews, by multiple employees across a variety of departments - working for Lemonade with all of its popularity and promise of being an exciting and rewarding place to work is deceiving, at best. Someone else titled and summed up their review here with this phrase and it is actually quite fitting: Lemonade, the good ole' bait and switch.

Pros

Great company/culture, great people, great exam support. Surrounded by the cream of the crop in the insurance and insurtech world. interesting and dynamic work. A nice bonus is you will learn how to code here, it's non negotiable.

Cons

No formal rotational programs. Work can get get overwhelming during exam season (maybe not a unique thing to this company). No bonuses, just equity.

Pros

When I started there it was amazing. Lots of flexibility, good pay, great benefits, and fantastic people to collaborate with. It was a real startup culture.

Cons

Once they started hiring old hats from entrenched and archaic insurance companies to be senior leaders the tone changed. Almost overnight it became just like the institutional insurance companies where you can be stabbed in the back at any moment and you’re only valued if senior leaders can see your work product. If you don’t have regular interactions with them or pat yourself on the back often you are as good as gone.
