Pros

Product seems good, some nice teammates

Cons

Tons of layoffs, struggling financially to stay afloat. CEO is ruining the company. He knows insurance but has NO idea how to run a company. He has a bad temper & frequently berates employees. Benefits are expensive & poor.

Pros

CEO has good industry knowledge.

Cons

Other senior management have little clue about the insurance industry or management experience. The employees that actually understood the industry either quit or were let go in multiple rounds of layoffs. Pretty toxic sales environment until SVP Sales and his sidekick were fired. Poor delivery experience for customers. VC partners are unsupportive and have unrealistic expectations.
