Pros

It's one of the biggest employers in Washington County. It is a respected company in the P&C insurance industry and attempts to be cutting edge in its technology.

Cons

It is a high pressure environment with little potential for advancement. You are just a number here, a tool to be used by upper management to advance their own agendas. It used to be a great place to work back in the 90's. Management has grown in size and increased the disconnect between it and the employees. The work/life balance is gone.

Pros

Modern technology stack with opportunities to work on cloud systems, APIs, distributed architecture, and enterprise modernization efforts. There are smart engineers throughout the organization, and some teams genuinely care about delivering quality solutions. The technical challenges themselves can help accelerate growth in areas like Azure, React, system integration, and large-scale enterprise workflows.

Cons

The environment often felt highly results-driven without enough emphasis on communication clarity, collaboration, or healthy engineering alignment. Requirements and priorities shifted frequently while delivery pressure remained high. Many interactions across leadership and architecture boundaries felt transactional instead of collaborative, which could make engineers feel isolated rather than supported. Success often depended as much on navigating ambiguity and organizational dynamics as technical ability itself.
