Pros

Worklife balance, vacation time, benefits, 401k, reward/recognition, bonus structure.

Cons

Constant change can be overwhelming. Creating more bureaucracy while promoting "streamlining", too many decision makers leading to lack of accountability and slow response time especially in technology. Lack of inclusion of North American leadership in key changes, leads to implementation of process and systems that don't work for the largest region.

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.
