Vantaggi

I worked at a division of Verisk located in Texas. The office was nice with a fairly casual dress code. They were great at doing little things like monthly employee relations events, a program to recognize colleagues for going above and beyond, and closing early prior to holidays. The pay was good given the area. You also have access to all open job listings across the entire company.

Svantaggi

Most of the employees have been working there for 10+ years and most of them doing the same job for that amount of time. As a result, management was really hands off and put very little effort into working on career development with anyone. It was more like they just let everything run on auto pilot. Also, they tend to hire from outside to fill open management positions. Several shockingly sexist comments were made by two members of management in my presence on multiple occasions. I couldn't believe such things still occur in a professional environment in 2015. If you want a job doing the same thing day after day with little career growth or development, then it's a great place to work. If you are ambitious and want a company that offers a career path, you may want to look elsewhere.

Thanks very much for your feedback. We appreciate your advice to management and, in fact, in the last 9 months or so, have been working closely with Executive Management to enhance managerial competence across the enterprise. For example, we are currently planning a series of training programs for all managers based on the acclaimed book, The Extraordinary Coach, Our focus continues to be on developing our culture based on the three tenets of The Verisk Way: Serve, Add Value, and Innovate. Of course, your report of inappropriate comments is very disturbing and we have already begun an investigation and education program in our Texas locations to ensure that all employees are treated with respect and dignity.

Vantaggi

The commitment to flexibility and hybrid work is amazing! The US has a very robust benefits offering. There are several learning and development programs with a diverse range of offerings from self-paced training to more interactive live courses. The people are incredible, you will not find nicer company.

Svantaggi

Verisk is an environment for "do-ers". This is a great place to build your career if you have great work ethic and are motivated to ty new things.

Vantaggi

The people. I worked with genuinely talented, hardworking colleagues who showed up for each other and for the work, even when leadership made that hard.

Svantaggi

Leadership at the senior level was chaotic and unclear, and it trickled down into everything. Projects routinely landed with little to no notice, leaving teams scrambling instead of planning. Budgets were micromanaged from the top while strategic direction was not — a strange mix of tight control over spending and almost no clarity on priorities. Communication from senior leadership rarely made it down to the people actually doing the work, so teams were often the last to know about decisions that directly affected them. There was also a clear undercurrent of fear among some senior leaders that discouraged any real innovation or experimentation — better to play it safe than propose something new. If you're someone who thrives on clarity, planning, and a culture that rewards new ideas, this is not that environment.
