Pros

-lots of awesome people -meaningful work and mission -nice campus amenities

Cons

-Toxic leadership (many in director layer up to C suite) -Negative disempowering environment -Duplicative roles stepping on each other -COO function run like a mafia. Lots of toxic personalities get promoted within and granted power to oversee functions around business they don’t even understand. -Actuary team at core of business is wicked to work with… condescending, negative, and rude. They judge every other area constantly, lashing out regularly. -Lead by fear and 20/20 hindsight bias

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
