Vantaggi

Great work life balance, flexible hybrid/remote schedule, team activities, great people to work with, job security (not sure how long that last though.) etc

Svantaggi

Used to be a great company but now everything going sideways. A lot of great talents left the company recently, especially from senior leadership and dev side due to the lack of direction from leadership and frequent re organization. Flagship product is a giant legacy code base and each year its getting worse by adding new features instead addressing defects. No career growth, most probably get stuck on one team and not able to work on new technologies like cloud side or new frameworks unless you are in that specific team. Concentrating on automation is good but ignoring manual QA on each release and forcing devs to do that job was the first step to failure. Product leadership is a mess, only a couple of people knows the product very well to make every day decision. Its just a matter of time other competitors going to catch up with Xacimate if they havent act up on. Used to have a job security but seems like Verisk started with contractors and not sure how far that would goes.

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.
