Pros

-- Reliably high performing company that is top of its field (ranks 2nd out of 18 large insurance companies) -- Strong and diverse team of data scientists -- Many opportunities for career and technical development -- Collaborative team culture -- Excellent benefits and compensation -- Flexible hours and work from home -- Many opportunities for outreach, volunteering, and hackathons -- Ethical and positive company culture -- Great work life balance

Cons

-- Communication from leadership and between parts of the company could be improved -- Hierarchical company structure (though there is an effort from leadership to change this) -- Staying on the cutting edge means it's difficult to know what's coming 2 years down the line

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
