Not worth it

Pros

Remote work. The salary is decent.

Cons

Pip Culture. Constant intimidation by tenured folks. Politics. Work can fluctuate between level - boring/routine to level - sweat shop. I worked on a project where the folks were very set in their ways. Leads were never open to discussion and used unnecessary jargon, rather than clear open communication. Leads never lost an opportunity to give negative feedback, while ignoring the hard work that was put in place. Overall This place is only interested in what you can bring, not in elevating your career in any way. The org has a fixed set of Lifers in each department, for the newbies it’s a rotating door.

Pros

Penn Mutual actually listens to its employees. It is clear in the approach to flexible work and investment in the people! Even tho we are mainly remote, the company is so intentional about bringing teams together to learn and collaborate. There are endless opportunities if people want them. I am impressed by accessibility to senior leadership and their willingness to want to grow and develop their people.

Cons

I really can’t think of any. They use our feedback to make the changes we want to see.
