Pros

- Went through rapid, organic growth due to attractive products and satisfied customers. - Very intelligent and hard-working employees. - Very intelligent and hard-working senior management, too.

Cons

- Has focused on growth to the exclusion of process and infrastructure, leading to failed deployments and client grumbling. - They will review you just before your equity vests, and they are looking for an excuse to get rid of you. - Middle management layer has been hired from outside (mostly) with little senior oversight. - No interest in career development or retention. If you aren't providing value today, they'll fire you, regardless of what you did yesterday or what you could do tomorrow with a little help. - Morale has plummeted in the last year.

Pros

The comp is still fair, with perks like the annual PR trip and summer camp rounding things out.

Cons

This is not the EIQ of yesterday; The very thing that made it special years ago, has all but vanished. While overall retention has not been that stark (yet), those who have decided to leave were some of the brightest and best. The company struggles with clarity of mission and vision. It comes across as build what people will buy, whatever will generate revenue. There is no perspective on how the insurance industry should actually change. The product direction and vision is scattershot, lacking a cohesive direction and a strong point of view. We end up building in near random direction rather than toward something, compounding forward. The AI work we do is no longer at the bleeding edge, because there's no affordance from the pressures of deliveries or short-term ism. Everything comes together, cobbled, frail, and in a scramble in order to hit arbitrary deadlines, where the cost of pushing the team to hit them is not accounted for. I really want to believe in this place, but I'm afraid its too far gone. The great people are sparse, few and far between. The ones who are great have left, or at high risk of leaving.
