Pros

The finance organization is a very fun and close knit group. There are at least 2 full day social events per year and also quarterly meetings with a few hours of social event tossed in. The company is very stable and secure. The company is very generous with travel around the world if you want to.

Cons

There are some questionalble promotions. Since this place was basically built by poaching people from other insurance companies, they hired those who could not advance at prior firms. Thus, many of the managers, although very competent workers, are terrible managers in terms of managing, hiring the right people, organizing and delegating tasks, and fairness to all employees under their watch.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
