Pros

Welcoming environment, friendly coworkers. In-office expectations are pretty reasonable depending on your department.

Cons

Pay, pay, pay. Your job is worth ~30% more at other companies. As a result, high performers are leaving in droves while management either turns a blind eye or flat out denies it's happening. As for replacing these folks, it's been basically impossible with what I've been budgeted. Limited ability to grow within the company. Internal job boards are a complete mess and don't mention the department the posting is for, the salary range, or even pay bands. I know of several colleagues who have inadvertently applied for demotions. Throughout the pandemic, food in the office was totally free. That was great. Just as we all got our -7% raise relative to inflation, they stopped subsidizing the food. Hilarious.

Pros

I have been a product manager at several companies, and it is genuinely one of the best environments I have worked in. Verisk provides a unique opportunity to work closely with customers, engineering, design, and leadership to solve meaningful problems and deliver products that create business value. Product managers are trusted to help shape strategy and influence key decisions. Teams collaborate effectively, and there is a shared commitment to delivering high quality outcomes for customers. Leadership is approachable and receptive to new ideas, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged.

Cons

Navigating insurance regulatory requirements and customer compliance can occasionally slow feature development and release timelines.

Pros

Good benefits, could be better. Subsidized cafe is great. Celebrations / gatherings are great for internal networking.

Cons

Firm went too bullish on stock growth during covid-29 era- wanted to see continued high growth of profit and profit margin, but that is unsustainable. Multiple significant layoffs and restructurings in one year. Hard time retaining institutional knowledge. Pay is not commensurate with high-stress environment (due to rapid changes and instability), COL, etc. Poor opportunity / visibility for career development for non-actuarial roles embedded in actuarial departments. Leads to frustration among colleagues. Morale is very far down. Neglect of institutional knowledge and junior staff will make problems down the line.
