Pros

Unfortunately, I didn't find any advantages.

Cons

I interviewed for a software developer position. The interviewers were very toxic and rude — they constantly interrupted me, didn’t let me finish my answers, and snickered in the background. I was left with a very negative impression of both the hiring process and the people involved. I do not recommend it.

Pros

1. 12% 401k match 2. Amazing co workers in the trenches but this is rapidly changing as people look for the exits.

Cons

1. Management - the new management team has a maximum personal bonus / profit only mindset. Cost cutting reigns. 2. Constant layoffs. No job is safe. 3. Company has offshored many jobs to India and is in a race to move key underwritering, engineering, claims functions to India as well. Overall, it feels more like a private equity gut job than a publicly traded company.
