Vantaggi
Like others have mentioned, some of the people on the ground-floor are great. They are bright, interesting, and humble individuals.
Svantaggi
The lack of product vision, incompetencies by all levels of management (across all departments), pressure to work long hours and incredible low morale made Policygenius a place I could no longer work for. The thing that excited me most about joining Policygenius was the opportunity to work with incredibly talented senior engineers, then they all left, within a few weeks of each other. I got excited about the opportunity to build a great product, then I realized product leadership had no vision and set unrealistic expectations. The easiest way to get a shout-out at a company meeting is to pull an all-nighter, that kind of behavior is rewarded not frowned upon. The final straw was the completely absent morale. Whether you are a junior developer or senior developer, management simply doesn’t understand how to put you on a path for growth and success and you could really feel the effects of that on the entire team. At Policygenius you will always come in second to the bottom line. There are lots of amazing opportunities out there, find a place that values YOU.
