Pros

Quite a few talented and passionate people.

Cons

- non competitive pay - most talented people don't stay - No matter how well you perform it is very hard to move to new positions in the company. -Internal job performance is actually not even used to evaluate internal candidates, to create a fair and equal playing field for internal and external candidates. Leaderships hides this from employees, quite unethical. They want external talent more. - CEO Tom Wilson has a history of questionable character behind closed doors - Senior officers have said they don't feel comfortable expressing their true opinions - Executives maintain in leadership positions despite a history of cursing people out - Retaliation is quite common - Non diverse leaders mostly old white men who have been in insurance for decades - Fired 10% of workforce in the middle of a global pandemic, not due to performance but due to strategy. The company made more money than ever during pandemic. - Did 3 reorgs and made people feel they had secure jobs and then laid of a masisve portion of people - Incompetent senior leadership focused solely on supporting their delusional success stories for poltical purposes - Only certain levels get bonuses - Improper governance structure which allows Tom Wilson to have too much control over the company - Promotion based on tenure not merit - Horrible culture for innovation

Pros

Large Stable company, decent benefits, provide social gathering opportunities for remote employees.

Cons

Communication is not the best. from leadership down or between departments. Perception is valued higher then performance. Under stress people may turn hostile and the leadership is not equipped to address in well. In case of my manager some of the expectations were not reasonable.
