Pros

- work from anywhere culture is real - nice perks and benefits for a small company - most c-suite are great people who genuinely care - some opportunities to change an old industry

Cons

- not really a tech company and many with experience in tech startups are no longer with the company - not much real innovation, just repackaging same old insurance - new global expansion work despite struggles in existing geos - struggles to maintain diversity and retain diverse employees - puts up an inclusive front but senior leaders belittle people publicly and privately and no one seems to care - growth has stalled for months but many people on the growth team were recently let go - many business and culture problems just set to the side or swept under the rug

Pros

There is so much flexibility and PTO. Sasha, Mike and the leadership care about their people and do the right thing. Since the org is growing, there's a lot of room for growth if you stay around long enough. There is very little turnover, which is surprising for a start-up, and a lot of the "Day 1" employees are still around.

Cons

General struggles of a start-up - strategies can shift based on viability of ideas

Pros

Company Equity, which is only relevant if they are successful when sold. Health Benefits are good PTO is generous

Cons

The organization is playing in a very competitive market with products that are nothing new to the industry. They also bill themselves as a Technology company yet its simply an API that nearly every competitor is offering including embedded insurance products, As far as the leadership team goes, some are good and some are bad. It only takes one executive to create a toxic work environment for many, If you work near that individual on a daily basis then your job would certainly prove to be challenging if not impossible. As you get to know your coworkers, you get a sense that many simply are not happy. If you interview, I would recommend asking why they enjoy working there and gauge their responses, As you can read by previous company reviews, turnover is a historic problem as is the poor behavior of some in a leadership position. Above all, trust your gut when deciding to work here. There are a lot of smoke and mirrors as well as flat out deceit.
