Pros

Location, hybrid, flexible working hours

Cons

I worked at Verisk for a period of time, and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. One of the biggest issues I encountered was the constant feeling of job insecurity. It's not uncommon to walk in one day and be told you're fired..this happens regularly within the company. Another major issue is how promotions are handled. Many employees are overlooked for advancement opportunities simply because it's more about who is well-liked rather than actual performance or qualifications. This creates a toxic culture where the most qualified people are left behind in favor of those with personal connections or favoritism. Additionally, the team responsible for managing Glassdoor reviews seems to focus heavily on creating a more polished and idealized image of the company. Employees are often asked to write positive reviews, which doesn’t reflect the actual environment. If you're looking at Glassdoor for an accurate representation, I suggest checking LinkedIn instead. You'll notice that many people leave Verisk after only a short time, which speaks volumes about the company’s internal culture and employee satisfaction. Be prepared to work in an environment full of gossip, where people often talk behind each other’s backs instead of addressing issues directly. This only adds to the toxic atmosphere and makes it harder to focus on work. If you’re considering working here, be prepared for a stressful, unpredictable environment with little job stability, unfair career advancement practices, and a culture of gossip. Overall, morale is low, and the company's internal politics seem to dominate any real opportunity for growth

Pros

I have been a product manager at several companies, and it is genuinely one of the best environments I have worked in. Verisk provides a unique opportunity to work closely with customers, engineering, design, and leadership to solve meaningful problems and deliver products that create business value. Product managers are trusted to help shape strategy and influence key decisions. Teams collaborate effectively, and there is a shared commitment to delivering high quality outcomes for customers. Leadership is approachable and receptive to new ideas, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged.

Cons

Navigating insurance regulatory requirements and customer compliance can occasionally slow feature development and release timelines.
