Pros

I left due to a personal reason. This is an amazing company. * Hack Day - one day fornightly to work on something you like. * Flexible working environment. * Every one gets the opportunities to contribute to important technical designs. * Managers try their best to help you. * A lot of interesting and chanllanging problems to solve. * Colleagues are friendly and willing to help, people aim to solve problems rather than passing the buck. * Work life balance. * Best gear to use.

Cons

Since the company is in the interim period to transfer from start-up to a medium size company, things need to sort out including * Career progression - it is still not clear how to climb the ladder. * A lot of projects need to be worked on. Sometimes it is frustrating to work on the projects alone. * You would need to learn the domain knowledge yourself, no one is able to help you most of time, especially GIS knowledge. Company doesn't seem to have resources to invest in this area which may cause bugs in the products because no one knows if the features work correctly. * High turnover rate in certain departments, so there is knowledge gap in certain area.

Pros

I had great autonomy to work with my customers and present my customer plans and renewal plans to upper leadership. Low to no interference most of the time.

Cons

I didn't get to travel as much as I wanted.

Pros

Excellent product, Lehi, UT staff, technical support

Cons

Redundant leadership, never know who’s in charge. Redundant processes, constant shifts in focus. Limited investment outside of insurance vertical. “Grow at all costs” strategy from years past coming back to bite org. Too many cooks in the kitchen. No legitimate mechanism for front-line sales to engage with senior leadership.
