Pros

The office environment offered standard benefit packages and vacation time, work load was not excessive (unless you worked in New Business).

Cons

This company allows a General Agent to oversee their firm and change benefits according to what they want to have. Some agencies have been reputed to be wonderful to work for and others not at all. It's dependent upon who you have as a GA

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
