Pros

Good benefits, decent salary, nice colleagues.

Cons

People with no proper qualifications / zero business sense have been overpromoted all the way to the top, resulting in a dysfunctional ever-changing mess. The business model is still solid but the incompetence at the Executive Management level is shocking.

Pros

* Pay and benefits * Industry best technical and engineering foundation

Cons

Miserable, toxic, regimented place to work. In recent years trended this direction. Now it is much worse. Corporate office recently changed job responsibilities for Account Managers and Underwriters in a project called "RACI". The result is lopsided heavy workload dumped on underwriters that we aren't properly staffed to perform with qualified people. Underwriters are being set up to fail unless willing to work 60-80 hours per week and make your personal life secondary to all else. AM's are being turned into "Account Executives" and will lose most underwriting skills. Underwriters now have a dead-end career path. There are numerous co-workers with huge egos that jockey for position and favor. They love to hear themselves talk in meetings. Since promotions are based on favortism and nepotism who can blame them. Management keeps a matrix of all employees and their potential for advancement. If you are in the wrong square on the matrix you are stigmatized.
