Pros

You can wear your pajamas to work and swear like a sailor. This would be a GREAT company if you've already achieved everything you want in your career, no cost of living concerns, and just want to meet a bunch of cool people and pets.

Cons

Salary is dismal, especially if you work in a department not directly related to revenue generation. No internal development program for employees that want to do more than just manage a team. If you possess any level of competence and self-motivation, inevitably you will have it ground out of you due to the lack of resources and availability of management. No annual performance reviews (at least in my department) and stock options are offered in lieu of raises. This company uses culture and non-compensation based benefits as a smoke-screen to keep people from balking at the operational chaos that ensues day in and day out. Process is regarded with almost complete disdain from our CEO and Chief STRATEGY Officer, which results in a lot of confusion and a lot of unnecessary stress that doesn't ever directly touch them. A lot of reviews chalk these problems up to "new company growing pains" but this company is almost 20 years old.

Pros

Overall, I would absolutely recommend Trupanion. The benefits are great; medical, dental and vision insurance through a major network as well as daycare that's free aside from taxes. For those who choose to bring their dog to work, we also employee several full-time dog walkers, so walks are free to you. The general culture is very accepting, particularly to the LGBTQA+ community, and I made what I now consider to be life-long friends within the first two months of working here. I will say, there's a concentrated focus on making hires with the right personality (positive, pet-focused, kind), particularly with how a hire will fit in with the team the open role is on. For Account Managers, the workflow is for the most part very manageable, averaging about 20-30 touchpoints per day with partnered hospitals.

Cons

If you're easily distracted, having so many dogs around could be a detriment to your workflow. For Account Managers, your job satisfaction can be largely based on "luck of the draw" for which outside sales representatives (called Territory Partners) you're paired with. The company grew very rapidly, which occasionally leaves some communication gaps.
