Pros

None. None that I can even lie about.

Cons

Oddest bunch of people you will ever meet. Gossip culture, low class and small minded; managers and senior staff, beggars belief how they got the job. If they did not have this job, they would probably do better in Poundland. No training, chaotic and xenophobic at best. Closed to new ideas, unless it is their own (few).Trying to go Agile but will have to close down certain departments and get rid of existing permanent staff who wont budge, because that´s the best job they will ever find. If you google earth the building, it´s outdated just like it´s longterm staff. A shot leopard can´t get up nor change it´s spots. I feel sorry for the CEO.

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.
