Pluspunten

No pros from my side

Minpunten

Cons only: - Director of Engineering + top leadership behave like politicians, not engineers - If you ask difficult questions in meetings, they mark you as "troublemaker" - Seen multiple good tech people fired without real reason within 6-12 months - Zero technical growth, only PowerPoint and marketing work gets priority - Tech folks treated like 2nd class citizens - Monopoly culture: one group controls everything, no real open discussion - Pathetic work-life balance hidden behind "prestigious brand" If you are a real engineer who likes coding and asking questions → run away.

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.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
