Pros

Company really cares about giving work life balance / flexibility for working parents. I really appreciated the Summer Fridays and pension benefit - I noticed these were very rare among my working friends and their employers. Every manager I've had also really cared about being the best manager they could be - some even going above and beyond to help me find my next job / prepare me with skills to do career transition. If I was here later in my career and had kids, I would definitely stay for the long term.

Cons

I struggled with being a technical individual contributor having to work with non-technical manager. I've never had a manager who has done my day-to-day work and I found it difficult to get better / hone any strong technical skills. I've also noticed the org is heavily staffed in middle management and senior leaders - whereas they was usually a shortage of technically skills individual contributors. More middle management meant more people to report updates to, more meetings, more ambiguous "planning / strategizing" meetings that didn't accelerate productivity...It felt more like an impediment to getting work done than actually helpful.

Pros

Decent pay, way to start in insurance, decent training, nice facility with lots of parking.

Cons

Unbelievable workload that cannot be completed in an 8 hour period. However, it is expected to be done with no overtime allowed. Coworkers crying at their desk due to receiving a weeks worth of work in 1 day. Can crush all of your marks just to be met with well for this reason you only meets, so here is your 3%.
