Pros

Root is unique within the insurance industry - lots of opportunities to work across functions and design, build and scale new processes. The people I work with on a daily basis are incredibly smart and collaborative.

Cons

Not a good fit for someone who doesn't like change - prioritization is a fundamental skill at Root, and both management and employees are encouraged to focus and prioritize only the most valuable project at any given time.

Pros

It's difficult to identify any significant pros about working at Root Inc.

Cons

Root Inc has a work culture that can be unbearable for employees. The culture is a blame-game, leading to an unhealthy and unsupportive work environment. The management team at Root Inc lacks the necessary skills to lead and support their team effectively. Their decisions often negatively impact employees and the company as a whole. Root Inc expects employees to work long hours without appropriate compensation for overtime. This leads to poor work-life balance and high levels of burnout among employees. Root Inc offers compensation below industry standards, which is not commensurate with the workload and expectations of employees. Additionally, there is a lack of transparency around bonuses and salaries, which creates a sense of mistrust. Root Inc does not provide employees with opportunities for professional development or career advancement. This leaves employees feeling stuck in their roles and unfulfilled in their careers. Overall, Root Inc is a highly unsatisfactory place to work. The toxic work culture, ineffective management, and inadequate compensation and growth opportunities make it an unappealing workplace.
