My personal conspiracy theory is this is Google’s way to get its notorious horde of SJWs to resign en masse. I left years ago, and even back then the internal Google+ was a festering, aggressively intolerant SJW cesspool. There are dozens of people who seem to spend all day there posting the most ludicrous SJW bullshit and virtue signaling, and seemingly do nothing else (according to eg Critique, the internal code re…
I left a good job with an insurance company, not in protest really, but just because I hated the idea of being a part of an industry I despise so much. Unfortunately my departure didn't shake the foundation of their business, but I'm no longer embarrassed to talk about who I work for.

“about a dozen employees”. The 'maven' story was published in early march, it’s an 80k employee company, that is not even a blip within their natural turnover rate.

Do insurance companies have a bad reputation in other regions? I personally love my insurance company and wouldn't be embarrassed to work there at all

I'm glad this attitude didn't exist in the 1940s. Otherwise we all might be speaking German.
The company’s recent political fumbles, like its sponsorship of the Conservative Political Action Conference and its struggle to address internal diversity concerns, have also played a role.
The company does not want to be a left leaning liberal company. It wants to be a neutral company that doesn't get punished by the winds of our two party political system. I'm sure after Trump won in 2016 a lot of higher ups at Google let out a collective sigh of relief about their 2012 decision to support the CPAC.
Calling that support a 'political fumble' is all that you need to see how biased this article is.

Why is it embarrassing to work for an insurance? Most insurances exist for a reason and are vital for most people/businesses. It's often said that insurances can be boring to work for but never heard that the sector has a terrible reputation.

Not quite the iron-grip that less democratic nations had on their economies during war-time, but not what you would call a free-market economy nowadays.
