Pros
I feel lucky to have joined Jerry. From day one, the culture has been incredibly welcoming and the people are genuinely some of the kindest and most helpful I've ever worked with. There's a real sense of shared purpose here. The mission and leadership are inspiring, and you can feel everyone across the organization is working together towards the same goals.
The work environment is unique. Even with defined teams, it feels fluid; if you have a great idea, you're empowered to jump in and run with it. You're encouraged to focus on problems that excite you and will provide value, which makes the work feel both meaningful and personal. We're very customer-centric, and it's rewarding to know we're solving a truly complex and interesting problem (you'd be shocked to learn how complex insurance is!)
I also want to echo what others have said about the interview process. It's intense, yes, but it’s a brilliant way to showcase the passion of the team. The case studies gave me a great taste of the creative, engaging work that we do every day. And the talent team were all just a delight to work with it!! Shoutout to Alana and Gaga who felt like your biggest cheerleaders from day 1 of the process.
Tl;dr - collaborative, inspiring, challenging (in a good way)
Cons
I haven't encountered many cons so far, but it's important to note that Jerry is a place for self-starters. There's a lot of autonomy and very little micromanagement. If you thrive on constant daily check-ins and hands-on guidance, this might not be the best fit for you. There isn't the biggest onboarding program like you'd see at a big firm, but that's startup life.
