Pros
- Great coworkers, I loved the friends & colleagues I made here! - Some leadership was good - Unlimited PTO biggest perk
Kontras
- Disorganized & Unstable: My manager changed 5 times in the 2 years I worked here, and each one was less qualified to be managing my position. They tried their best, but were always "promoted" to manage my position from a role that did not lend itself to that, and were not capable of teaching me or supporting me in my role. The company maintains that it is a great place to learn and grow, but I had learn pretty much everything myself since there was never anyone hired to mentor or help me. - I was underpaid my entire time working here. I applied for a raise just before I hit my 1 year, which was several months after my colleague had left and I had been given all the responsibilities of both of our jobs with no effort to replace her or support me. It took 6+ months of being told they were "working on it" to end up getting a 4% raise, note even meeting inflation. This was the only salary adjustment I received the entire time, despite advocating for myself and going through an identical process to my coworkers who had received sufficient raises. I continued to never get support or help and instead have more responsibilities throughout my time at Insurify, and never received proper compensation. - There are no actual D,E&I processes, and the concept is often written off due to the company being run by a woman who is also an immigrant. Leadership being diverse as far as tech CEOs go does not absolve you from making an effort to enforce D,E&I. The number of women working at the company went from a majority to barely any throughout my time there. I could say a thousand things about my time at Insurify, but I will just sum it up with the fact that it made my life increasingly miserable and I started looking for a new job after a year (the job market was just not good enough for me to find one quickly). It was acknowledged to me by several managers/higher-ups (not C-Suite) that I was being isolated, overworked, and underpaid, but nothing ever changed. The vision and empathy of C-Suite is extremely lacking, and they have a significant disconnect from employees despite being a small company and having supposedly "open communication" (doesn't count if you don't listen to/take into account anything employees ask and say). I sincerely hope it improves for the sake of those working for the company.
