Pros

I have had the chance to work with WBMI for the last 2 years, specifically with a number of the IT management Team. The one constant that has remained true and why I believe WBMI is a great place to build your career is the people and passion for what they do. It's a certain level of energy and mindset that differentiates West Bend - nobody sees themselves working in "Information Technology" or "Accounting" - everyone works in the Insurance industry playing their part and working towards the same organizational goals. It's been really exciting to see the continued success over the last few years - which is a result of improved communication on various business objectives, department needs (technical & cultural), and the willingness to address difficult situations/issues to achieve a certain goal. WBMI realizes when someone is 100% bought in and looking to improve themselves, and in turn, the team as a whole.

Cons

There has been a number of reviews that have mentioned the commute to West Bend - I have a tough time accepting that as a actual con. The drive from MKE is roughly 30 minutes which is significantly less than in other cities. Also, WBMI has been very flexible allowing employees to tailor their commute around the "rush hour".

Pros

Modern technology stack with opportunities to work on cloud systems, APIs, distributed architecture, and enterprise modernization efforts. There are smart engineers throughout the organization, and some teams genuinely care about delivering quality solutions. The technical challenges themselves can help accelerate growth in areas like Azure, React, system integration, and large-scale enterprise workflows.

Cons

The environment often felt highly results-driven without enough emphasis on communication clarity, collaboration, or healthy engineering alignment. Requirements and priorities shifted frequently while delivery pressure remained high. Many interactions across leadership and architecture boundaries felt transactional instead of collaborative, which could make engineers feel isolated rather than supported. Success often depended as much on navigating ambiguity and organizational dynamics as technical ability itself.
