Pros

Benefits, Ability to change divisions after 6 months in a position if there is an available opening (but you are required to interview). I do believe there are lots of great divisions in Markel, and the company is VERY financially stable, but the two departments I worked in were not positive experiences.

Cons

Limited room for advancement depending on program/division, inefficient underwriting workflows, bureaucratic, compensation/salaries are lower than industry average (justified by a bonus that is not guaranteed and that fluctuates annually) with very small annual increases
