Avantages
- RTD pass - Bootcamp to ease you into the "wonderful" world of insurance and their "amazing" (legacy) products - Awesome team/cool people (though many have left at this point)
Inconvénients
- Incompetent upper management - Shady business practices (Vertafore has one product that basically takes data from their existing users without their consent and sells it right back to them) - Terrible tech debt + legacy code + unwillingness to modernize = complete developmental catastrophe - Hiring individuals as one role and making them do the job of another higher role while paying them less - Crappy dell laptops. - Attrition rate amongst developers is ridiculously high and they know it. - Pay below market - Constant spouting of "the Vertafore way" and transparency but it is all BS. - Changing of direction caused scrapping of virtually complete projects, violations of the agile/scrum process, and distress/frustration amongst all development teams - Too many meetings where an email would suffice - Passive aggressiveness from managers, upper management, or even some of the older employees - Unwillingness to adapt - Owned by private equity firms who are obviously only in this to make a profit and then sell the company. Just look at the history of Bain & Vista. - Those on the 4th floor treated waaay better than the developers on the 6th. Not saying those roles besides development are important or less than but if you do not take care of you devs, you won't have a product to sell.
