Pros

I get to work with really bright people solving incredibly important and interesting challenges in an industry that is going through a digital revolution. There are endless opportunities to develop and the team brings together an amazing array of perspectives based on their expertise in technology, insurance and entrepreneurship. The company's mission also really speaks to me - Counterpart was founded to help small businesses navigate their ever increasing challenges. It was hard enough even before COVID, but now small businesses are feeling more pressure than ever. I think that we can really make a difference with our proprietary coverages, tools, and services.

Cons

It is a fully distributed company, which I personally really like, but it may not be for you if you prefer more structure.

Pros

The team is sharp - and the right people are in the right places. You're working alongside people who actually understand insurance and tech. Some of the brightest minds in each industry have converged here. Real ownership of your work. This isn't a place where you're a cog. You see the direct impact of what you do on the product and the business on the monthly, weekly and even daily. Leadership is accessible and genuinely open to ideas. The distance between "I have a thought" and "let's try it" is incredibly short. That's refreshing in an industry where you are frequently hit with the "that's not how we do it here" mentality. The mission makes sense. Professional liability insurance is overdue for modernization, and Counterpart is actually doing it rather than just pitching a deck about it. Good work-life balance for the industry. You're trusted to manage your own time like an adult. We have a work from anywhere philosophy, taking remote work to a new level. There is no micro-managing. People trust each other to do the work, and we do, on person-by-person terms.

Cons

Like any growing company priorities can evolve quickly, but that keeps the work dynamic and means you're always close to what matters most to the business.

Pros

The culture here is genuinely great! It's fast-paced and people are driven, but everyone is also super collaborative and willing to help each other out. You have full ownership over your work and while competitive, it never feels cutthroat. Being fully remote is a huge plus, and it actually works well because the company has built real systems help you connect with your teammates. You're trusted to manage your own time and get things done without anyone breathing down your neck. Leadership is transparent and approachable, which makes a big difference. Benefits are solid, work-life balance is real, and there are actual opportunities to grow your career if you put in the effort.

Cons

The only downside of being fully remote is the lack of in-person connection; spontaneous conversations and team bonding just don't happen naturally. That said, it's a pretty minor gripe and honestly comes with the territory when remote work is the trade-off. It's also a very entrepreneurial, self-driven environment, so if you need a lot of structure or hand-holding to stay motivated, this probably isn't the right fit.
