Pros

Met lifelong friends. Projects I worked on expanding my skill set.

Cons

To start, I'm unsure what contractor the company uses to inundate Glassdoor reviews with one-sentence, 5-star reviews. However, anyone who works here and pays attention to how the company operates knows it's far from a 3.9 review. This company demonstrates all that is wrong with corporate America. Hiring freezes and quiet layoffs across the business without restructuring goals and workload. Continuous expectations for employees to take on more and more, with "Leadership" taking on most of the STI bucket for themselves and their favorites. Then, communicating that the business didn't meet its goals, so bonuses aren't fully funded. "Leaders" get promotions with known serious ER cases in their files or drive a function into the ground. Known for below-market salaries but brags about DEI efforts, further perpetuating POC's and Women's pay inequality. Lack of skilled managers, directors, etc. Directors can't even have a simple performance conversation, let alone advocate for their teams. How they get the roles? We'll never know. Last but not least, it's desperate to be considered a tech company, but its resource mgmt, processes, policies, and technology across the business are outdated. They still haven't figured out their bad practices come from the continuance of hiring from the insurance & finance industries, which have difficulty attracting/maintaining its talent, and are historically known for their toxic culture.

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.
