Lots of smart people

Underwriter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exceptionally competent company. Highly intelligent executives and employees. Huge growth over past 6 years, not slowing. Inspiring go-getter attitude. Incredibly technical.

Cons

Very leanly staffed company. Workload almost unsustainable. Everybody puts on a happy face, but a lot of people are stressed. High intensity in everything, from the daily job, to projects in the (only) quiet summer period. No downtime. Little tolerance for any mistakes. Data and systems horrendous. Present whole portfolio to senior leadership 3-4x per year, good to have one-on-one time with executives but too many irrelevant people watching creates stage fright - suggest having relevant people only. The data/systems make it an impossible task too.
