      Assistant vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary and good office infrastructure

      Cons

      Lot of work pressure, no work life balance. Never ending work pressure and worst political environment. Local guys will not let you get promoted easily even HR person also make it difficult for you to grow. I will never recommend anyone to join if you have ambitions and future goals related to your career.

      Corso - property underwriter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

      Cons

      1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
