      Incredible culture with strong work-life balance

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The culture at RLI is unreal. Everyone is like a family. Work life balance is prioritized even with a far commute. Wonderful immersion program for new employees. Feels like my forever company even after just 6 months.

      Cons

      I haven't found any cons yet in my 6 months. If I had to pick a con, I would say that sometimes the commute is hard as it is over an hour, but the flex work plan has been helpful.

      Employee-Owned Culture, Great People, and Strong Leadership

      Vice president

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      What stands out most is the quality of the people and the culture. Leadership is accessible, colleagues are collaborative and employees are given the authority needed to do their work. The company maintains a disciplined approach to underwriting while still creating opportunities for professional growth and new ideas. The employee-owned culture fosters a long-term perspective and a genuine sense of shared success.

      Cons

      No workplace is perfect, but I have found the challenges to be typical of a growing and successful organization. Those include balancing priories, managing workload and navigating change in a positive and profitable way.
