Better than other Insurance Co's

The Hartford is a decent company. From the gossip I heard while working there, it seems they treat employees better overall than other Insurance companies like The Travelers. They were the last Insurer in the area to abandon the 37.5 hour work week a few years ago and move to 40hr/wk (although most programmers probably worked over 40 hr/wk anyway).
Their "separate" organization - HTSC (http://www.htsco.com/) is an interesting concept. I'm not more...
