    Employees at this 81-year-old insurer might be surprised by the start-up vibe, with hackathons, code jams, and artificial intelligence competitions. There’s even an innovation “garage” that functions as an employee-run think tank and experimental lab. Childcare subsidies and on-site medical clinics also help make it a “company with heart.” Read Great Place to Work review here.
