Pros

very competitive salary and benefits

Cons

Sexist towards men, have to be popular to get anywhere in the company. Work product means nothing if you aren't in bed with current leadership. Interviews are a formality, the promotions are already promised.

Pros

Working remotely offers the undeniable benefit of flexibility, allowing employees to tailor their work environment to their preferences and needs. However, in today's landscape, with the majority of companies embracing remote work, it's become more of an expectation than a unique perk, making it less of a distinguishing factor among employers.

Cons

My experience at Root Insurance has been marred by unsettling revelations regarding executive misconduct and compensation practices. The shocking embezzlement of 10 million dollars by executives has cast a dark shadow over the company's ethical standards and financial integrity. Additionally, while the CEO enjoys a staggering 4-million-dollar salary, coupled with hefty bonuses, the approval of yearly layoffs affecting 20% of the workforce is disheartening. This stark contrast between executive compensation and the impact on employees raises significant concerns about the company's priorities and fairness. These revelations have left me deeply disillusioned and questioning the company's commitment to its employees' well-being and ethical business practices.

Pros

The PTO plan & remote work culture is good.

Cons

Toxic upper management. Huge boys club. Lack of diversity, terrible inattentive recruiting process. Hired dozens of people to look good on paper for investments just to lay them off 8 weeks later. Genuinely this place will never be profitable and they know it. C-suite is keeping the lights on as long as possible collecting their checks. Ride the wave with them if you want to - or get out now before they fire you on zoom too.
