Pros

Great products and services. Stable company and they are very diversified. The customer service is a amazing. Has mutual company benefits.

Cons

You're on your own to pay for everything included licenses, seminars, etc. This is because it's a mutual company. No base salary, you only get a subsidy on the business you submit. Whole life is preached to be the cure all product.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
