      Pros

      Good Benefits, great office, great canteen

      Cons

      Too much internal politics and power hungry management. Reorganizations are happening all the time (5 in 4 years, at some point I lost track of my department's name) decreasing stability just because senior management cares more about their own power than company's goals.

      We really appreciate your honest and detailed feedback. It’s great to hear that you value the benefits, office environment, and canteen. At the same time, we understand that internal politics and frequent reorganizations can be challenging. That said, change is also an opportunity — it allows us to evolve, strengthen our alignment, and grow as a company. We’re committed to fostering greater stability and transparency, and to ensuring leadership decisions are clearly connected to our goals. Your perspective is important and helps us move forward.

      Pros

      Great culture, people are helpful

      Cons

      Over-engineering in making decisions. Lots of hoops to jump through to get things done.

      We’re glad the culture and supportive colleagues have been meaningful in your experience. We know large organisations can sometimes feel complex, and we're constantly working to simplify decision making where possible. Thank you for your review.

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
