Verisk Software Developer reviews

Managers often block employees from moving to other teams with better technology stacks, even when they express interest and apply. Instead of supporting growth, they deny releases and subject employees to constant taunts and pressure. Favoritism is rampant relatives of favored employees are hired despite poor interview performance, not for their skills but to serve as loyal supporters of the manager. This creates an unhealthy environment where merit is ignored, and managers exploit their position to build a circle of unquestioning subordinates. Office politics consistently overshadow talent and genuine performance. While the company claims to be an equal opportunity employer on its website, in reality, these managers actively undermine that principle by promoting bias, blocking internal mobility, and enabling unfair hiring practices. Compensation is significantly below industry standards. Onsite opportunities are not based on capability but on personal rapport with managers. In some cases, favored employees barely contribute yet receive top perks. Managers often misuse quarterly or half-yearly fun budgets, diverting them for personal or political gains.
