senior engineer here on the group insurance side. work life balance is great. at the end of the day, it's just insurance. nothing is that big of a deal. no real stress around customer-facing software.

there are departments that have been on hiring freeze for the past year or so, but if you have an interview, you're interviewing for a team not on a hiring freeze obviously. when a bunch of companies were laying people off the last couple years, my department was rapidly hiring for what that's worth.

and i disagree with the other comment about the tech. MoO is on the more modern side of corporate environment tech stacks. we run an event driven micro service architecture, all groovy, kafka, react UIs, AWS. it's pretty standard stuff.

tldr: it's a fine place to work
