Pros

they provide free lunch to employee

Cons

Data science in auto insurance pricing is heavily regulated. Therefore, the ML technique used in pricing is very restricted, which is less appealing if you prefer the type of work in "real" tech company . I agree with the previous post that management in ds pricing with very limited experience got promoted so fast. What's worse is the management would micro-manage every detail of your project and frequently give bad instructions you must follow. Definitely a very bad working culture for ds. Telematics ds is probably a different story.

Pros

Has been the best employee I've had throughout my career, and by far the best insurance company. They are transparent, they care about employees, and if you do your job there are opportunities for growth all over the place.

Cons

Can't think of a negative thing to say so far
