Pros

The hiring managers here did a fantastic job of finding amazing actuarial team members and other department coworkers that are extremely hard working individuals with great attitudes and personalities. The company's purpose/mission itself is something I truly stood behind and believe could have been great however its never the true motive.

Cons

- HR initially offered Unlimited/Flexible PTO, which was a win-win since PTO did not need to be paid out after departures and employees had amble time to recharge/rejuvenate. Then they went back on their word, reducing it to 20 days based, which is unfair and almost unheard of in the actuarial/data field. - Having job description/responsibilities change on the whim without any inter-department/team level discussions. Since this a start-up company a scorecards will be made for most positions every quarter, but even this is too long-term for the drastic company decisions made week-to-week and day-to-day. - Having to undertake responsibilities that normally would not fall under typical positions in a company nor positions scorecard. - Company structure does not makes sense and is constantly shifting around. - Never being heard or being heard to only have no proactive actions taken afterward. - Being part of a company that values higher level positions that get bogged down with meetings all day. Ex. Hiring a new COO/CTO then having a company-wide lay off with zero days notice right before the 2023 holiday season. - A company that values the growth team and writing more policies/premium over efficiency, accuracy, and having a healthy work culture/environment. - Here and there having managers/coworkers that are toxic in the sense of consistently reaching out after work hours and speaking inappropriately (Unnecessary swearing and using non-politically terms).
