Pros

Good people, great work-life balance. Most people work from home one day a week. There is a lot of flexibility to work around any family commitments.

Things are relaxed overall, but an impressive amount of work gets done. There is a lot of room to move around. You can switch projects very easily if there is an opening, and managers express a lot of (genuine) interest in your career goals.

Cons

The insurance business sounds boring, so the company is having a hard time hiring top talent in some key areas.

There are some very good people, but overall technical skills are not as highly valued as softer skills.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great communication and transparency.
