Pros

- 401k match and benefits are good - Direct managers are really good people - Work from home

Cons

- Pay/raises - Workload is overwhelming which creates more work to do - Micromanagement - you are constantly hounded for work to be completed even though you have a workload that is impossible to do - The scope of knowledge you are expected to know to do the job properly is ridiculous. No one knows how to do everything properly and misinformation is passed around regularly. Verisk expects you to be a "jack of all trades" and the result is a poor product. The insurance companies realize this and that is why they are losing business. - Following the customer requirements is really difficult. You must learn many things on your own

Thank you for your comments and concern about recent decisions that were made. We empower our teams to make decisions to enable and deliver the results our clients demand. While we have been very successful in both core and new growth areas, we constantly look to improve and introspect how we operate as a team, especially in areas of new growth where clients expectations have increased exponentially. With that in mind, we believe we have acted (and communicated to the team) on the market demand and positioned ourselves to scale for future success. If you have further questions/concerns, please feel free to reach out to your manager or any member of the leadership team.

Pros

I have been a product manager at several companies, and it is genuinely one of the best environments I have worked in. Verisk provides a unique opportunity to work closely with customers, engineering, design, and leadership to solve meaningful problems and deliver products that create business value. Product managers are trusted to help shape strategy and influence key decisions. Teams collaborate effectively, and there is a shared commitment to delivering high quality outcomes for customers. Leadership is approachable and receptive to new ideas, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged.

Cons

Navigating insurance regulatory requirements and customer compliance can occasionally slow feature development and release timelines.

Pros

Good benefits, could be better. Subsidized cafe is great. Celebrations / gatherings are great for internal networking.

Cons

Firm went too bullish on stock growth during covid-29 era- wanted to see continued high growth of profit and profit margin, but that is unsustainable. Multiple significant layoffs and restructurings in one year. Hard time retaining institutional knowledge. Pay is not commensurate with high-stress environment (due to rapid changes and instability), COL, etc. Poor opportunity / visibility for career development for non-actuarial roles embedded in actuarial departments. Leads to frustration among colleagues. Morale is very far down. Neglect of institutional knowledge and junior staff will make problems down the line.
