Pros

The Pay scales and benefits are decent compared to other IT organizations in large insurance companies Less stressful, projects are funded and performed a decent pace, you are not expected to work on the weekends or late nights Work culture is great as long as you an network and get into so called inner circles Senior management values talented employees Flexible hours are available as long as your management agrees

Cons

No Job Growth at all. Look at MetLife's layoff cycle in 2013 and 2014, and in another 10 Years this will happen to the new hires as well. Pay scales can improve on the IT organization.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
