No More Sunday Scaries - Anonymous employee Pie Insurance Employee Review

Pie is mission-driven and focused on modernizing an outdated industry, giving employees the chance to build products that genuinely help small businesses. The organization embraces modern technology and design thinking, encouraging innovation, experimentation, and new ideas. Leadership is accessible and human, and the company invests in connection and community even in a remote environment.

Because Pie is growing fast, change is constant—if you need rigid structure or slow, steady routines, it may feel overwhelming at times.

I worked with many talented, thoughtful engineers who cared about building reliable systems and supporting each other. The remote environment was generally workable, and there were meaningful technical problems to solve across backend services, APIs, data quality, production support, and customer-facing workflows. I also appreciated opportunities to take ownership, mentor teammates, and work on systems that had real operational impact.

Priorities and organizational direction could shift quickly, which sometimes made it harder to plan long-term technical work or understand how career growth would be evaluated. Communication around larger company changes could have been clearer and more timely. Career progression, role expectations, and decision-making sometimes felt uneven across teams.
