Pros

Good teams and resources who are helpful to one another.

Cons

Where do I start? This company is selfish, they have immature and insecure bmanagement, unplanned layoffs and hiring, BUDGETARY MISCALCULATIONS, primitive development standards, selfish attitude when it comes to senior leadership pocketing big bonuses and no respect or adulation for any hardw working individuals. They look for any and every reason to let people go, it doesn't matter how hard you worked, nor how much efforts you put into the company and projects, they are merciless and they will not give any reason and will just fire you. It is very common to see multiple team members leave (due to quitting or getting fired), and it's so common the old timers here think and act as if that is a normal and good thing. What it is, is extremely alarming and a HUGE RED FLAG. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, they do NOT VALUE your loyalty, hard work and efforts. and as I said, any one mistake you make they will use that against you to fire you. Getting fired here is like second nature. I have seen enough here and am actively interviewing and planning to leave. Good luck.

Pros

I have been a product manager at several companies, and it is genuinely one of the best environments I have worked in. Verisk provides a unique opportunity to work closely with customers, engineering, design, and leadership to solve meaningful problems and deliver products that create business value. Product managers are trusted to help shape strategy and influence key decisions. Teams collaborate effectively, and there is a shared commitment to delivering high quality outcomes for customers. Leadership is approachable and receptive to new ideas, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged.

Cons

Navigating insurance regulatory requirements and customer compliance can occasionally slow feature development and release timelines.

Pros

Good benefits, could be better. Subsidized cafe is great. Celebrations / gatherings are great for internal networking.

Cons

Firm went too bullish on stock growth during covid-29 era- wanted to see continued high growth of profit and profit margin, but that is unsustainable. Multiple significant layoffs and restructurings in one year. Hard time retaining institutional knowledge. Pay is not commensurate with high-stress environment (due to rapid changes and instability), COL, etc. Poor opportunity / visibility for career development for non-actuarial roles embedded in actuarial departments. Leads to frustration among colleagues. Morale is very far down. Neglect of institutional knowledge and junior staff will make problems down the line.
