Pros

Pay was decent, they give you free food for holidays, holidays are decent but they took 1 away for the past 2 years meaning 2 less for 2016 than 2014

Cons

There is a high level of unprofessionalism throughout the organization. No one is ever held accountable so they always find a scapegoat below them that they hold accountable. I asked many questions during the interview process about culture and nothing I was told was true. After about a month of working there, I soon realized that nothing was true that I was sold on. There is no teamwork and the culture is crazy and there are a lot of back stabbers. I have never been in a place where there is such a high concentration of this type of attitude and upper management ignores it. The systems are very bad too; they have way too many. I think turnover has decreased, but mainly due to the bad job market in Houston. I know people that have been looking for something different for the past 6 months, and they are still searching for a different job. I have a few friends that talked to the recruiters that placed them here and the recruiters no longer work with HIIG due to the experiences many of their candidates experienced.

Pros

The company and culture at Skyward Specialty Insurance is outstanding and by far my favorite over the course of my career.

Cons

My only con would be that although the benefits package overall is good, the medical coverage this year was not as favorable as in past years.

Pros

Compensation is fine and benefits are fine.

Cons

Management practices dictatorship. IT managers do NOT understand IT. They are technically very poor. Off shore contractors just fool them and they are willing to be ridiculed by them. They emphasize on overworking. Politics at its peak. Directors have rude behavior. They do not provide any training, just shooting in the air. Most of the calls happen after office hours. There are weekend releases so your Friday evenings and Saturday mornings are destroyed. No reward, no bonus. They have a system called Clockify where you have to justify every second of your work.
