      A group of focused, intelligent people making positive change in an old industry

      Pros

      Root offers its employees a highly collaborative environment with an adaptable and intelligent group of people. The team at Root is an energetic bunch who is eager to see the company grow and take on huge competitors by building the best product and customer experience possible and disrupting an industry that hasn't seen real change in a long time. The company/leadership team is unified by a solid vision, and given the size and rate of growth, it's easy to see your contributions to that vision in the day to day work. If you're looking for a work environment where people are energized by what they're doing and willing to work hard for positive outcomes of the company, Root would be a good fit. This is definitely the most challenging work I've done so far in my career, and has easily been some of the most rewarding.

      Cons

      Building a new product can often be challenging, ambiguous work that changes rapidly. Working here takes initiative and drive that some people might not be used to. The team is not afraid to experiment and iterate on pieces of the product, so if you are used to being in an environment where making mistakes or trying things out is frowned upon, or people are comfortable with the status quo, this may be a bit of a culture shock. Also if you're used to a very "polite" environment where there is no dissent or challenging of ideas, Root will also be very different (we're nice to each other, but we'll tell it like it is and think challenging ideas makes for far better solutions as we tackle important challenges).

      By far the best place I've ever worked

      Pros

      Root has assembled a team of the most competent and hardest working software engineers in the area. Everyone is incredibly motivated and remarkably hard working. I've never seen a team be so productive. We are selling policies faster than expected and sensibly scaling our teams to match that. Pay is above average and benefits are great for single individuals and good for families.

      Cons

      If you like firing nerf guns or playing ping pong during the workday, Root isn't for you. Expectations are realistic - you can work 40 hours a week with no complaints - but this is a very "heads down" work environment. Almost all of the discussion in the office is around business and programming related issues - no chit chat. If you are genuinely interested in producing the highest quality software, these are pros, not cons, but it could come as a culture shock to some people.
